[gradsusr] text garbling when using buttons

[Jennifer Adams]

Heh.
Well, the "Overlay!... " messages are part of a memory-management  
debugging scheme we are using -- those message indicate a memory leak  
somewhere. I guess I must have left it in verbose mode for the a5  
release, because those messages should ordinarily be suppressed. If  
you are building from source, you can set verbo=0 in galloc.c. Better  
yet, upgrade to 2.0.a9!

As for why the text in the command window got garbled, I have no idea,  
except that the characters it's trying to print (in the first few  
lines) are the ones that were 'stomped on' (overlaid).

I would be interested to try to reproduce your memory leak so I can  
patch it, if you could please email me a simplified version of your  
script that still generates the messages. Looks like the buttons are  
causing the problems.
