Yep, crackle I was certain of and you had mentioned cells enough for me to
associate you with it.
I checked and found that the last post around here by John was on the 7th of
this month to say he was leaving for a trip and wouldn't even be getting the
Beta of POV 3.5 to take along with him.  Been two weeks now so wonder if
he'll soon see about this? (talking to myself)

Ideally of course every feature's author would be the fix-it person.  Or
better yet, someone with extra know-how because I suppose troubleshooting
often goes beyond the part added into the source.  Goes without saying.  I
can only admire from afar.
