Agreed. :)

No, I haven't come up against this, but then I don't scan things like
you do, and I don't normally see Macs.  However I think if you take a
look at the changelog for the latest version you'll see that (a) there
wasn't a lot of it and (b) the descriptions of some of the changes do
hint at memory issues, and the sort of breakage that you see might not
be too surprising.  It would be a useful exercise to take the previous
version and apply each change separately.  Hopefully only one of them
will cause the problem, and you can let the devs know which.  There's
a good chance that they have their suspicions already.
