It's worked for years. I don't think we had any problems on some of the
same servers under 5.x. With 6, we had some problems with half or more of
the screen being green. I just had it happen again, a few weeks ago; the
workaround was to go from 640x480 to 320x240. That's the one that's
started complaining about buffer overflow, though the videos are fine.
