Oh, the load remains 100% forever after???  Do you get a success message in
the status bar?

Can you try the nightly build version but configure the "build" to run a
shell script that just does a delay so you can check if the load starts
before the end of the build or after completion.

Ok, thanks, 0.17 lets out new build bits I added :-) but we've still got to
fix the problem :-(

If one has a DVD, doesn't a Mac come from a place with golden arches?? Thats
how much I know about them I'm afraid.

Personally I havn't got windows build capability either, I just havn't had
the chance to set it up.
