I don¡¯t know much about DCC++, so I have to ask a naive question: Is DCCPPT0 a valid Turnout name for the hardware?
If yes, then there¡¯s a bug that I think I know how to fix.

Dear Jack and all,
Now 4.11.3 + DCC++ running on Linux Mint 18.2
1/. With JMRI 4.11.3 I can now see the PanelPro window after a short delay.
2/. However, as I start that I get a complaint about one of my turnouts DCCPPT0. Indeed, even by (manually) editing the various XML files in .jmri/.... and changing the name of DCCPPT0 to DCCPPT10 it still complains about one named DCCPPT0 !!
3/. If in PanelPro I select edit => preferences nothing appears for a VERY long time. If I look at processes on my computer (with top) java is showing as taking 100% of CPU. After a very long delay, probably a couple of minutes, the preferences window then appears. And then, looking at top's output, java has dropped to only using about 15% of CPU.
4/. Once this is running, I can use the tables -> turnouts and I can change all my turnouts with one exception. If in the xml files I have the final turnout numbered DCCPPT0 when it does not appear at all. If I manually edit the xml files to have it named DCCPPT10 it then does show in table but will not operate. If I used the DCC++ special menu and turn on monitoring, I can then still see this turnout 0 in the monitor and with correct configuration. However, as I say, when I start PanelPro the error about DCCPPT0 is logged (even if I have edited xml to say 10 rather than 0). And, whether I have it named 0 or 10 the tables -> turnouts will not let me operate it.
I attached my session log if it helps.
Any ideas?
[As I commented when I started this trail, everything worked fine on an older version of Linux Mint and with matching older java versions.]

Dear Jacques and Walter,
I had tried the latest stable release but not 4.11.3.
I'll have a go at trying that version shortly.

Hi Dave,
I have spent the last two days trying to figure out the problem with the PanelPro tables not opening.
Just install the Test release 4.11.3. all the tables are displayed with this version.
Regards,
Jacques
