I got your request at the beginning of a vacation period where I was out of town. I had explicitly requested that 6.4 be blocked for this issue. I didn't think that "just my problem" would be enough to hold it up, but I apparently never even considered that -REL would happen without even responding to my request. Since nobody had responded to my request, and several posts had gone out about more testing for 7.1 (which had the same loader and the same problems) I assumed that 6.4 was similarly delayed. Had anyone said you needed this information pronto I would have canceled my Thanksgiving plans and spent the day in the lab testing this for you. For that matter, I had already pulled a diff of 6.3 to 6.4 and was working my way through it trying to find the relevant parts. If you would have identified the relevant portions, I would have happily tried backing out some of the changes on a per-component basis to figure it out. In short, tell me what you wanted/needed, and I would have done it ASAP. It's apparently irrelevant now. -- Jo Rhett Net Consonance : consonant endings by net philanthropy, open source and other randomness
