The 0.9.59 version in the FTP archive is not a released version.
A MOL problem was found in the YDL 2.0 golden master. MOL tended
to crash in full screen mode when a key was pressed. In the process
of tracking down this bug, I uploaded the (pre) 0.9.59 version.
(Btw. the bug can also cause random MOL-crashes, in particular
during network access.)
I eventually found the bug - it was actually a 2.2 kernel bug.
The workaround made it into the 0.9.59 version bundled with YDL,
but it is not in the 0.9.59 version in the FTP archive.
