Hi Jay,

I'm a little confused. 'split 4 1' ignores the second argument and
interpretes it as 'split 4' so you get a 4 pixel tall frame. Is this
what happens on your machine or does it actually mess up? If there is
no bug then why use the original patch? Is there a deficiency with the
frame splitting in CVS?

Thanks,
Shawn
