Before you start doing silly things, better read the commit logs. Peter has merged the fix simultaneously to -stable. (Or is *this* what makes it too less `stable' for you, too many bugfixes merged? :-) Tim's remark regarding the fix not being in 2.2.2 was targeted to something totally different which you very apparently didn't understand. (2.2.2 was the `stealth' release, with no warning in advance. This gave us no time to walk down the PR list beforehand. No, Tim, we don't sit around here with nothing else to do all the day than just watching the PRs, and committing the fixes. ;-) -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
