Re: Binary packages for 3.8

[Ben Abbott]

Hi Carlo,

The fltk toolkit has always crashed the gui for me.  I was negligent in filing 
a bug report, but one is there now.

        https://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?40242

There's also the GUI/pager problem on MacOSX.  I just opened a bug report for 
that.
