Excuse me, but I thought that bug-fixing is the entire purpose of a beta
program. Additionally, I have not noticed the memory leak that the post
refers to; I've noticed some annoying bugs (the N button doesn't do
anything, the newsreader is excrutiatingly slow, Java doesn't work, and
it's incompatible with the Aaron extension, among other things), but I'm
not bitching, because I know it's a beta, and I know that betas have bugs.
If they didn't, they wouldn't be betas. 

Now if the final release does these things, THEN it's time to start bitching.
