Hi Tom et al,

I ran 1.4.2 beta for a while, and found that it had issues with
my laptop's graphics card (ATI Rage Mobility M1) as well as some
stability problems--my VisAD application would consistently
freeze up upon exit, requiring a Task Manager kill to properly
terminate.

In other words, I agree with Tom that it's better to stick with
1.3 for now.
