Tom,

The latest version is 1.2.4, which is already in Fedora and EPEL testing 
-- it's the latest fix release to the 1.2.X stable release series.

Picking 1.2.2 will leave you with a few bugs we explicitly created 
1.2.3/1.2.4 to fix, so now that you've updated, you'll want to be current.

The bug I mentioned should /not/ be present in 1.2.X, that was why I 
suggested you upgrade, actually.
