Thanks for reporting this bug. I fixed it and committed the change to CVS.

Ok, it's me, Speedy Gonzales again (as Emiliano says... (;-))

I fixed that as well and committed the changes.

Greetings to JLab (I once worked at UVa in Charlottesville...). Is David Abbott
still there?

Unfortunately not. But your request is on the wishlist since some time, I added
your vote.

I tried to reproduce this problem, but everything was fine. This problem was never
reported by anyone else as well.

Can you send me one of this old xxxxxxa.log files which causes that crash, I can then fix
it in elogd.c ...

It's under CVS. You have to recompile the executable yourself, or you wait for the next
release (;-)

I added a new configuration option "Expand selection page" which defaults to
one. So if nothing is changed in the configuration file, the logbook selection
page is expanded by default. Only if one has very many logbooks and wants back
the old behaviour, one has to add "Expand selection page = 0" in the config
file. The new version is under CVS.
