Hmm, maybe beta8c should be called "the beta that regurgitated my empeg" then :)

I think I've fathomed out what went wrong here. It was an incredibly simple mistake I made when building the image. I'll be building a test version to send to a few people who have reported problems with beta9 a little later and should that prove successful beta9a should follow early next week.

In the meantime I've pulled beta9.
