Comment 3 for bug 277705

Thanks for getting back to me. What I have done instead is to not use tilp2
so this is not an issue (for me) any more. (Instead I run TI's calculator
access program in a WinXP VM under VirtualBox.) I have an Ubuntu 8.10 VM
and will see if I can reproduce the problem there.
