Hello,
I'm looking at your TSV import bug report with Xess. I'm really sorry this
took so long- it got lost in the input queue. I don't know if you still
have it, but it would be very helpful if you could send me the file (or a
file) that triggers the problem so I can reproduce it. You could mail it
or put it in your Public directory where I could pick it up.
