I just tried this RC for v 1.74, and it has the same behavior for me as in all 1.7x versions. The program loads well (but I have to manually input use_sse = 0 into default.cfg file, or I get an error), however when I open any file, for example info.txt, the system freezes. The mouse still works, but I can't input any text, change text, or exit the program without a hard reset of the system.

If I do not do any activity before opening a file, I can exit the program, go to "about, go to most other options without such a freeze, but once I actually try to type in text, whether via, "New File" or opening an existing file, the freeze happens.
