Excellent. I've subscribed to the list, and I bet I can write a GMail
filter to throw the "Successful Build" messages to my inbox with a
flag set.

Glad to help out. I'm very active in-world (5-6 hours a night in world
usually, more on weekends) and not scared of a viewer crash. :)

Vista64 platform, and I always grab the latest nVidia drivers when
they are available. Seems like most of the crashes on the release
clients can be fixed by making sure your video drivers are current.
