Eeek! I have an official title? :D
I upgraded this morning and clocking works fine for me (again in Linux)
but I'm on GNU Emacs 22.2.1 (i486-pc-linux-gnu, GTK+ Version 2.12.11) of
2008-11-09 on raven, modified by Debian. Org-mode version 6.32
(release_6.32.dirty)
I don't currently use the clock resolution functionality but plan to
play with it soon. (I currently have no open clock entries except the
task I'm clocking right now).
