0.13 never gave me problems until after 2.0.2 - 2.0.4 (somewhere, I only
tried 2.0.1 and 2.0.4 and there was no problem in 2.0.1 and the problem
has been in 2.0.4-2.0.6.

0.25 has always given me problems in all versions I've tried but 0.13 has
worked well in 2.0.1 and previous (started using my 3c590 around 1.3.100)

I'm at 2.0.0 right now.
