+I haven't had any reports of crashes in v0.1.5. It's been rock solid
+for me on Windows. I think it must be Wine related. If you get another
+crash in Wine and it prints anything on the terminal, e-mail me and I

+around. Martti and I have been working on a new version to release soon
+and it would be nice to get any Wine fixes in there.

+Those don't look like anything to worry about. Probably functions
+unimplemented by Wine that are harmlessly stubbed out.

+You can delete debug.log occasionally if you don't want to take the disk
+space. It's just status messages that help with debugging.
+
+bitcoin.sourceforge.net looks fine now. Maybe sourceforge was doing
+some maintenance.
