The tar workaround mentioned in the knowledgebase doc - which I'm not sure works on all systems - doesn't get you around the issue of running a relatively 'old' version (15506) of 3.1.
There are other reasons why you should use 3.1 26414 (or a similar 3.0 build) besides the fixes to garbage bytes problem. There are a lot of security related fixes we've put into the product (URL/View source hacks, etc) since 3.1 first shipped. Build 26414 is a rollup of sorts of all these fixes. I would not recommend using 3.1 gold (build 15506) for deployment on the internet without upgrading since many of the security issues we've since fixed are now well known by users and especially hackers. It's best to upgrade and keep abreast of these issues by subscribing to the the security bulletins via the "Notification Service" on http://www.macromedia.com/security/. As we publish articles and fixes, you will be notified by email. We believe the intermittent 'garbage byte' issue that plagued 3.0 and 3.1 for some time is fixed for all platforms. (intermittent just means some platforms would work, some would not for the same build) Stephen Dupre Macromedia, Inc. -----Original Message----- From: Ben Groeneveld [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Tuesday, April 09, 2002 11:34 AM To: JRun-Talk Subject: Re: Jrun in suse linux 7.2 And, there's an alternate fix to this issue as well, although I have not needed it: > Ben, > > I can't seem to reply to the list, so I'll send this along to you (if you > want to send it to the list, you can). > > The reason you're having problems is that the version of tar that Red > Hat is > shipping is a newer version and has had some things changed.
