Anthony,

   I've been seeing similar issues so what I've created is a Debian v3 virtual
machine in order to run it, using [1] (from [2]) as the source for the
install, on a system with KVM capable hardware.  (Used virt-manager on a
Debian v7 host system.)
   The VM is installed on a 1 gig 'harddrive', which is partitioned into a root
and a swap partition.  The installation, so far, is only taking up 127M so
I've plenty of room to to experiment...  (And if needed, it would be easy
enough to add more...)

   That would be a good idea but I understand that the author no longer has the
source code...
