The developers are aware of this and were surprised too. :)

Did you look at the wharf.config (and pager.config) that came with
1.5pre to see the new functions? I believe the Swallow function have been
changed to allow for bigger icons to fit; therefore if you are defining
the pager to be bigger than 64x64 - it'll overflow [only zwharf provides
for the zwharf to reize itself for the biggest icon/pager]. The pager
size is a function of the text size and the "DeskTopScale" in the
base#.bpp - a smaller number is bigger (go figure). Try MaxSwallowModule
for the pager in the wharf and see what happens.

Yes, MaxSwallow does what it says now.

I'd say that this co-existence of the two might cause some errors,
maybe causing the pager overflow as well.
