I haven't had any crashes, no. I ran a fsck-like utility and it found no
problems, so it seems my filesystem ("Mac OS Extended", if you were
wondering) is fine. By the way, a couple of moments ago I accidentally
started two invocations of pan... oops. Data loss again. I'm not sure how
multiple invocations are supposed to work—OS X allows only one copy of a
program to be running at a time—but this seems like it shouldn't happen.
Unless a more clueful *nix user corrects me, I'll file a bug on this.
Thanks for the help anyway,
