Hello, This is a more detailed overview of my progress than the weekly reports, which can also be found on the mailing list. Over the past two weeks I have been learning a lot more about capture tracking. From this I was able to instrument the current implementation in order to identify some of the false positives in it. I was hoping to have more definitive results by now than what I
