Very interesting...the date stamp on mine is the same...and yet, it only
became available via up2date more recently than that.
In addition, I'm very disappointed that, although it shows as available for
7.1 (which I'm running on my production server), it isn't available through
up2date.
Guess I'll have to do the manual thing, after all.
Still...very puzzling.
