 It's still crashing when I click URL's in mail buffers too.
Yesterday I clicked an ftp://something and XEmacs disappeared.  I'm
tired of pasting them into Netscape--- I shouldn't have to.

 It worked in 19.14; what happened?

 Hmmm.  It occurs to me that what's going on is that there will be a
net release of 20.1, with 'send-pr' advertised, and work will continue 
on 20.2 beta?  With more people using it, the bugs will be revealed
sooner and in more ways, I suppose.
