*nod* I'm already doing that (as of yesterday) trying to log nearly
anything happening, even though the logging will erh, for a period explode
totally and utterly, I think that will be the best way in the end.

I can only Agree 110%, I am using CVS, A wonderful tool for development,
since it's quite easy to track changes (Even more so with the CVSweb cgi
script). Unfortunately, the sourcecode first got into CVS 6 months ago,
and although the problem wasn't apparent before that, I cannot say if
existed or not *cry* :). I think you're right, the only way is through log
and a lot of watching. Thanks for the great input.
