At last nights RISC OS coding zoom meeting there was discussion of this
SocketWatch issue and I was asked to write to this list seeking some
information. We looked at the change log for v0.07 and tested the latest
NetSurf against v0.04. It appeared to run without problems.

Would you be willing in the short term to RMensure against v0.04 instead
of v0.07. This would avoid some breakage and people having to change
their run files.

This is significant only because older/current versions of SocketWatch
cannot be replaced "live" as they are in use. Thus simply RMensuring a
newer version will fail.
