How are you going to even find out the bug exists if you're not running -current? If you're seriously suggesting that people should consider doing development work on user land code in 2.1 if they're having problems with -current's stability then things really have got out of control. This has never been a problem before and it shouldn't be now, we want to get more people back to using -current not "recommend" that they use 2.1 instead. We're talking about potential developers here, who are wiling to put up with the odd problem, not end users who need stability. -- Paul Richards. Originative Solutions Ltd.
