Hi Helga,

sorry for the delay. I'm currently doing a little spare-time animation
project myself which has to be finished soon and this just kept me busy.

Too bad.

Yes, you got me there. I have already forgotten about this nastiness and
was remembered at this as well when I looked at the code again.

I have just committed a small change which removes this cyclic import
(it's in rev302). But frankly, I doubt that this has caused the trouble
as the cycle gets broken up as soon as one module is partially loaded
(but you never know and, of course, it's bad style anyway, so getting
rid of this cyclic import is definitely a good thing).
Let me know if this has changed anything.

Yes, I can see that. :) But unfortunately, there's only so much I can do
without being able to reproduce the crash on my end. Sorry.
