* RXJ0640-24 during its second 'live' outburst shows again a short 
brightening without a plateau.
It is not impossible that it belongs to the UGSU category with superoutbursts
of longer duration and superhumps to come: a worthwhile target to monitor.
With outbursts at magnitudes of 11.5 and possibly brighter, how could it 
have been overlooked so long...
