Ah, yes, I noticed that too and I think the fix was in the pre0.63
patch already (along with a couple of other minor fixes). I plan on
making an updated pre0.63 patch soon that contains Oliver's UMAX
changes so if you haven't gotten the pre0.63 patch yet, you may just
want to wait for the forthcoming one.
