The hand, arrow, and vertical splitter cursor IDs changed in v2.5:

<http://support.runrev.com/bugdatabase/show_bug.cgi?id=2103>
<http://support.runrev.com/bugdatabase/show_bug.cgi?id=2032>

Thankfully, with this latest revision we can expect it to be the last 
we'll need to accomodate for a very long time.

Now that all of the cursor IDs are within the established reserved 
ranges, we can hope that going forward if the Rev IDE needs new cursor 
images it'll use new cursor IDs for those, rather than change existing 
cursors.
