Thanks Samuel, I will look for it tomorrow morning. Um, where should
I look for it? I usually rsync the code now, but you imply I should
do a full download of a different source and rebuild... I'm assuming
ftp.nada.kth.se?

Also, I want to note that when I run mol, it is completely
unattended. It runs a program and just sits there with no user input.
IOW, the mouse problem happens "on its own." I notice the deafness,
go to the box (if I am on-site), and observe the mouse-down problem.
This is always the first time the mouse was touched since MacOS was
booted to begin with.
