Apologies in advance if I'm only contributing noise here. I openly
acknowledge that I have not drilled down into this to fully ascertain
cause, but I took a 1.5 hour outage tonight related to an update. I'm
assuming that I'll need to make changes to be compliant with the
latest version, but there was something weird regarding the v=2.s
option that I thought worth reporting. I'm getting ahead of myself and
posting about it in case anyone else sees anything similar.

First user reports of an outage were at 10:15 EDT. (http://www.gmap-
pedometer.com) I confirmed the problem. Maps loaded just fine,
geocoding worked, etc. My site captures double-clicks and determines
distance between the last two points. I assume the problem has
something to do with the event handler on the double click -- all the
actions that were supposed to happen there were not, with no error
messages.

Anyway, the weird thing is that the problem was *not* resolved by
switching to "v=2.s". I did that, but the problem persisted. It was
only when I pinned my code to "v=2.140" that it started to work again.

I understand if my site breaks when a new version gets pushed into the
main "v=2" release. But it's my understanding that getting a stable
release with the "v=2.s" option is supposed to get me a version from a
few months back. If that's the case, then I should have seen today's
error back when that version was first released. I would think that
swapping from "v=2" to "v=2.s" is always safe, presuming your code
worked on past versions.

So that's my $.02. Feel free to contact me for further details. I will
be looking into what happened to the doubleclick handler, and will
post again if I find anything that seems to have an explanation
outside my own crappy code.
