- There's a bug in Executor's new "auto-refresh" code that can cause it
- to turn on refresh mode when it shouldn't. This can happen in
- Speedometer. If you bring up the alt-shift-5 panel and see that
- refresh mode is on, that's the culprit. This should be fixed in
- 1.99p6.
-
- By the way, you might want to get 1.99p5 since it fixes a few serious
- bugs in 1.99p4.
