I don't like offering people (especially naive users) a program that  
is known to crash.  Also, if we get a lot of people using it, there  
are going to be a lot of questions about when the crashes are going  
to be fixed, but at the moment we have no one actually signed up to  
even think about fixing them.  I agree it's a shame, but I think it's  
really better not to distribute the binaries.
