I held off releasing a _pre1 in hopes that by _pre2 this would be somehow resolved, or find out that it wasn't at least a distro specific bug. Now with _pre2 I have had 3 reports of this happening...filling gigs of HD space. This also doesn't seem to be specific to mc.help.it as all the bugs between _pre1 and _pre2 have happened on different language files of mc.help. One of the weird things though is that now a bug has shown up of this actually happening during the install phase of one of those help files, when all the others it happened during the compile. On a side note this seems to be a very rare bug, but when it bites it bites hard.
