A few weeks ago I caught this message which exactly describes
the problem I also see. I had been waiting for a response
from someone to confirm that it is a valid/proper fix before
using it myself as I'm not a skilled programmer, but I
haven't seen any comments on it.
I did pull down 2.0.36pre1 and 2, but it didn't make its way
into these patches. Perhaps it was overlooked in the
original post, so I thought I'd through it out for the gurus
to see again. :)
Thanks!
