Good. I'll try and install that.

Yes. At least the server selection window, which crashes on the Amiga
X server, does.

I tried connecting to a server, but then hexchat blew up with "memory
fault". Not sure what that means (out of memory?). 64MB might not cut
it; I ordered a 128MB stick a while ago, but it might still take weeks
to arrive.
