Thank you very much!

In my free time, I am learning how to contribute to Debian more 
seriously.  I hope to someday become a DM, or even a DD, but before that 
need to increase my skill level with packaging, coding, and debugging. 
At this point, the plan is to become the Batman of the Debian BTS for a 
year or two -- swooping down on bugs and fixing them before the DM's and 
DD's have to -- before I apply for new maintainer status.

My latest results are (for me) humbling, making clear that I am nowhere 
near Batman status.  I have compiled some more results, but it has just 
occurred to me that we'll get horrible line-wrapping if I try to provide 
them with this Icedove email client....

Maybe.  That specific problem has gone away.

Now when I run 'audacity' I hear a click, like it is trying to start up, 
but it is segfaulting in another place and the window still never even 
appears.  Let me bail out of Icedove, and respond more fully via 
reportbug/emacs.


Thanks,
