OK, the Fremantle auto-builder just finished building Transmission -maemo1 (not sure how long it'll take to transfer into extras-devel) which has the crashing bug fixed.

Testing, again, was not particularly strenous but, this time, I did actually check that adding torrents, selecting folders, and going to the options did not make it crash.

After fixing my scratchbox's /etc/resolv.conf, I did manage to get two torrents downloaded (it even utilized uPnP to open a port on my router from the SDK!).

The next step would be to switch to the menu buttons used in, say, the Application manager, and, the X Terminal. There's way too many options in the menu for my liking.
