I haven't seen any "hard" recording glitches, i.e., corrupted recording 
files but I have noticed small playback glitches at key times, e.g., 
when a recording starts or ends. The glitches are not repeatable by 
rewinding so the recording files are OK. Seems to me 0.25 may thrash the 
disk(s) or CPU harder than 0.23 did which could interrupt playback. I 
never saw these glitches with 0.23.
