Howdy all.  :)

Marcin is correct that there is no sound.  Additionally, 0.2.0 does not use
readline for anything yet, although we intend to use it in the server.

Network games are indeed unstable, although they can be playable for a while. 
The default compile will create a useless binary called xscorch-server, which we
forgot to suppress when we released -- the intent is to rewrite the networking
entirely.  Whether you turn networking on in your binary packages mostly depends
on how many bug reports you want, I guess.  :-/

Finally, GTK2 support *should* work, but there are at least two minor features
we still haven't figured out how to implement in GTK2 yet, so you won't get them
if you compile for it.  Also, the GTK2 support is severely less tested (by us
anyway).

As for the stack overrun, it would help a lot if you could run gdb on it and get
a stack trace...  Also, testing to see if the bug is present when compiled
against GTK1.2 would be useful.

Finally finally, I don't know if this impacts FC or not but there is a mandatory
patch for running 0.2.0 with 64-bit pointers.  Marcin might have already applied
it, though.  It is here:
