We found a machine on which we can reproduce this bug. In theory, it
should be fairly easy to fix, since it didn't happen in 1.99k and only
so many things have changed.
Depending on the severity of the other bugs that we find, and when we
get a fix for our mouse related problems, we may or may not have
another experimental release before we drop in the much faster
blitter. Mat's been yanked around a lot of late, due to our need to
support 16 and 32 bits per pixel and our (hush hush) meeting this
week.
