Hard to say, but even if it does fix this problem, you will still be using a very old version with a serious security problem (although if you are not using a prolog script, you won't be affected). If I were you, I would install a fairly current version. You will get a lot of new functionality and more people on the mailing list will be able to help you if you do have any issues. But, of course, it's your call. Cheers, Loris -- Dr. Loris Bennett (Mr.) ZEDAT, Freie Universität Berlin Email [email protected]
