You did a binary upgrade to 3.2-R? Why not just do the binary upgrade to 4.1.1? When starting from the 2.2.x branch, jumping straigh to 4.x via a binary install seems to me to be the rational way to go. What's the point of building a whole 3.x system just to clobber it immediately with 4.x? -- Crist J.
