This fixes the problems arising with the move to Karmic Koala for Ubuntu. I'm not sure what in particular caused it to break between Jaunty and now, whether it was the addition of 2.6.4 or just some obscure timing thing that happens to be prevalent or not.
There were a number of features queued up in the git tree, but I wasn't really planning on releasing this quick until the Karmic bugs started to crop up yesterday, so I tucked them into a branch and will re-merge them later.
As a side note, I'm not a fan of Ubuntu for this very reason. This bug isn't their fault (or mine, AFAICT thanks to the multiprocessing module - a module built around spawning new processes - being intolerant of custom SIGCHLD handlers), but because Ubuntu is now frozen for karmic, I won't be able to get 0.7.5 into the main repo until the next release... despite the fact that I only start to get bugs after the release is actually made. It would make more sense, to me at least, if they froze stuff that was part of their core distribution (GNOME, firefox, kernel etc.) but continued to track Debian testing for their unsupported 'universe' packages (which is where canto falls).
Anyway, have fun! Submit bugs!
