So, I don't remember if anything specific has already been applied to 1.3 for the deadlock issue (Elias can speak to that better probably). However, it is an issue that will be addressed in 1.3 in the near future. We've been very reluctant to make any of these kinds of changes in 1.2 due to the unknown impact for a "mature" release. It looks like you have been working on some patches for the compatibility issues. We'll take a look at them and get moving on this. As I said earlier, I'd like to have you involved in the process, and appreciate your effort and input. As committers, it is up to us to facilitate and apply this kind of stuff to the code if we agree it is a good idea. I'm pretty sure we all agree that binary compatibility is a "good idea". :-) -Mark --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
