Actually, the problem is in the ram-based HD20 driver. We were using an
alpha version that hasn't been released yet that fixes the problem. We are
looking into some way to work around the bug in the old 1.0 driver. The
alpha was 1.1a, but we didn't know that the a was for alpha and assumed
that was what everybody else was using. Oh well ....
