The main reason I rebuilt coda-client packages from CVS was to test out
whether disconnected startup/reintegration would work properly.  I'm
still getting about a 30 - 50% failure rate.  What I mean by failure is
the fact that the reintegration fails and venus crashes, waiting forever
for me to debug it.  In a previous thread, someone said something about
data being looked up in RVM that wasn't supposed to be, but that was
supposedly fixed by the latest CVS.  So, I upgraded coda-client.  Do I
need to upgrade the server as well?

Also, whenever it crashes, it seems that the only way to get up and
working again is to initiate venus with the -init argument to clear the
cache.  Then, a little over every other time, it works when starting up
disconnected.  The other times, I have to reinitialize.  I guess it
doesn't help, too, that my laptop ran out of space.  I deleted some of
the .tar[.old] files in /var/lib/coda/spool/<uid> to clear up some
space.  I guess this could potentially be cause for data loss? (i.e.,
parts of KDE got messed up, my background changed back to the default,
the fonts changed, etc.)
