It's no problem.  It still runs, they only really noticeable thing is 
that the backs of Tux and Gown are pink, and I saw the proper version 
when I ran it with PLIB 1.2 and TuxRacer 0.0.3.  Just figured you had no 
way of noticing, so I'd let you know.

The other problem I had is that using a Voodoo 3 under Windows I had to 
set MESA_GLX_FX to something to get it to work, though that doesn't do 
anything under Windows.  I'd try fixing it myself, except I have no idea 
how to check if someone is using a Voodoo under Windows.
