That was me, yay! :)  It crashed right at the end of the evening; I
had been in-world for around five or six hours at the time, with all
of the bells and whistles (including shadows) running.

I've been running the OSS builds as they're posted here, but that
brings up a question I have - is there a URL that automatically points
to the latest OSS build? (Or a way to determine what the latest build
is?)

I'm not much of a C++ dev, and would most likely cause more problems
than I fixed if I tried (haven't done C++ since college), but I'm
perfectly willing to use a test viewer as my day-to-day viewer,
provided there's a mainline viewer available to use "when it counts".
I'm a tinkerer - I like finding bugs.

I have no issues with downloading a new test viewer every day or every
couple of days, as long as my preferences are kept between reinstalls,
which the builds have been doing thus far. Waiting till a URL is
posted here works, but if there's an automated one, I can just get in
the habit of grabbing it every afternoon and banging on it for a few
hours.
