Hmm, strange. Anyway, clicking on the OK button there should get setup
to continue.

I've found a serious bug in that pre-release. It gets the md5 sums in
setup.ini wrong (it parses the low nibble into the high nibbles, and
vice versa. Oops).

I'm building a new snapshot now, it'll be on the website within the
hour.

Sounds like there is a memory leak or somesuch. With the MD5 sums in
ini's I'll be able to do some proper testing myself now.

How many packages where you installing?
Which ones?

Are you 100% positive you have no other setup.ini's? Perhaps an old one
in the local dir root?
