As I said, it's very much experimental, so such reports
aren't that helpful. It's just meant to show what I'm
working on, which will certainly have known issues.

There is no 2.0.0.21 - please check your version numbers.
Any new version will be 2.0.0.20-2 or something.  But
if it's really "quitting", then presumably you really
mean it's crashing, and there's a stderr present.  This
_might_ be useful to send to me, but then again it might
not, because of the above reasons.   Let's wait until
I make a new full release.
