Hello,

Erich,
We have not yet released an official patch 19 because we received reports that
have led us to
believe that there may be other segmentation faults/bugs lurking in patch 19
snapshots. Threads such
as "maui crashes with segv" and "maui daemon constantly dies" describe known
issues that still need
to be resolved--or at least need confirmation that they no longer exist in
patch 19 snapshots. Some
postings (such as "maui crashes with segv") have already verified that patch 19
snapshots contain
bugs and we are doing our best to resolve them.
As we've mentioned on this list in the past, users who are experiencing this
segmentation fault, or
other bugs, should try upgrading to the latest snapshot to see if these
problems are resolved. After
our tests and community feedback indicates that reported bugs have been
resolved, we will release
an official patch. We feel this snapshot->patch development model has worked
well in the past for
several of our products.
We are always open to community fixes/patches for specific bugs and also
welcome bug reports with
detailed information on how to reproduce the problem (steps, stack traces,
etc.) Have you had a
chance to try out the latest snapshot to see if the crash you are experiencing
is resolved? Please
let us know.
Regards,
As a user who wants to (finally) upgrade from 3.2.5p2, what version of
Maui to I move to? A buggy snapshot that's going to need updating again
when it's an "official" patch (p19), a known bad patch (p18) or an
unknown (to me) patch that needed updating (p17)?
Hmm... 3.2.5p2 may be old, but at least it's stable.
Thank you,
--Kristian
