And there is at least one security issue unfixed with it.

Beside the number of issues with it, and the fact that it hasn't been updated SINCE 2004, I'm tempted to get rid of it entirely.

Anybody minds?

It's also buggy like hell!

For people who desperately need it, I can recommend dev-util/codelite from the sabayon overlay as a (partial) substitute.

Although it is actually an IDE, its project-wide symbol browser and cscope/grep integration can achieve quite similar results like Source Navigator. Just add all source files to a new project and start browsing the symbols.

Therefore, my thumbs up for nuking that buggy old and bloated Source Navigator, even though its feature list is still unmatched among free tools.
