\subsection{Known Problems}

This release has the following known problems. There is no need to report them,
although patches to fix them are welcome. If you discover a bug that is not
listed here, nor in the compatibility list on the web site, please see
the section on reporting bugs. \ref{sect-reporting-bugs}.

CD Audio Games:
  \begin{itemize}
  \item When playing games that use CD Audio (FM-TOWNS games, Loom CD, etc)
            users of Microsoft Windows 2000/XP may experience random crashes.
            This is due to a long-standing Windows bug, resulting in corrupt
            game files being read from the CD. Please copy the game data to
            your harddrive to avoid this.
  \end{itemize}
