Why would you want to download r12243 specifically? You were advised to try
r12243: that version or any later one will do[1]. In effect, being told to
"try rXXXXX" means -- to all intents and purposes -- "download a new test
build and try it".
1. The only time it doesn't is if the change in question has subsequently
been undone. As Rob says: a) this isn't common, and b) if the change in
question has been reverted, you probably didn't want to test it anyway. I
only mentioned that to stop the pedants biting, but it seems to have
failed...
