Known problems, Behaviours, Bugs, Errors, Problems
--------------------------------------------------

Of course I'm testing my software and find most errors myself. Additionally, a
good friend of mine tests any version (alpha, pre-beta, beta, ...).
If you find an error anyway (that's why it's a beta), try to find out what you
did that caused the error (bug) and find the fastest / easiest way to reproduce
this error and eMail your report (info@ctuser.net). Please also check if the
error depends on one or more settings
