Any idea where that might be located?  I'm willing to work out a patch 
for it!

Here's the output of pcb --verbose:

Action: DoWindows(DRC)  //open DRC window - everything still OK in the 
main PCB window.
Action: DRC()                      //refresh DRC
ChangeGroupVisibility(Layer=0, On=1, ChangeStackOrder=1)  //double-click 
first DRC error
Action: LayersChanged()
ghid_layer_buttons_update cur_index=0 update_index=0
Action: LayersChanged()
ghid_layer_buttons_update cur_index=0 update_index=0
Action: LayersChanged()
ghid_layer_buttons_update cur_index=0 update_index=0
Action: PointCursor()        //extra PointCursor() deleted
Action: PointCursor(True)  //mouse button - no effect
Action: PointCursor()
Action: PointCursor(True)
Action: PointCursor()
Action: Scroll(up)            //scroll - no effect on canvas, only on 
scroll bars
Action: PointCursor()
Action: Scroll(up)
Action: PointCursor()
Action: Scroll(up)
Action: PointCursor()
Action: Scroll(down)
Action: Scroll(down)
Action: PointCursor()
Action: Zoom(0.8)   //zoom - no effect on canvas, only on scroll bars

Any further suggestions for debugging this?  It makes DRC completely 
unusable for me - once I see the errors, I can't correct them and have 
to restart PCB.

Thanks,
Ethan
