Hi John (and everyone else), This issue is known about and is on the release notes[1]. It never surprises me that people never read them :) If you are affected, simply log onto the bug and click 'Affects Me', this way you will get updates as the bug progresses. Rest assured, Julien is on the case (look at the most recent posts).
