"Strange Characters" . . . quite a few lurking on the Use-List . . . LOL

Presumably (???) the fact that there is an RC3 is a signal that a stable 
release has been delayed a bit . . . AND . . . in the light
of recent discussions/findings delays are generally a good sign.

"will the number 15336 appear in the list of bug fixes ?"

Well, as RunRev's recent track record seems to be that bugs (at least 
those submitted by users) get picked at "random()"
for sorting out, your guess is as good as the next person's.

-----------------------------------------

In fact I think one of the best things RunRev could do at the moment is 
release a list of unsolved bugs alongside
a schedule for sorting them out: this would serve 2 purposes:

1. It would force RunRev to address some seriously long-term bugs fairly 
promptly.

2. It would calm us down knowing that there was a point in submitting 
bug reports.
