There have been several attempts to ensure the upgraded version is actually 8.4-RC3 (and again, 'uname -a' is not provided in this email...). I find it very hard to believe that we have exactly one fxp(4) user upgrading to 8.4-*. I'd really like to make sure that this is not an issue that will affect an uncountable number of users, but truthfully, at this point have to consider it a local configuration problem.
