The bug I hoped I had fixed didn’t get fixed.

Possible Crasher Fix
I think I fixed a huge, huge crasher that has affected Naked light for literally ever.
So far, I’ve received confirmation from one former crash victim that it no longer crashes. Hopefully his situation is not a fluke.
I think the crasher occurred for people with multiple displays (or possibly, only MacBook/Pros with external displays). (If I did in fact fix it, then yes, that was the...

And taking up about 100% of one of your CPUs even when idling.

I’m all caught up now, and will try to start always getting back within 24 hours again.
