2006-10-29 Thread Paul Haldane
Just in case other people hit these problems and don't check the bug tracker - I believe I've found and fixed (at least for my config) a couple of problems in 2.5.1p1 1582254 - under some conditions skipping a DLE (because of strategy skip in the dumptype definition) can cause the in-code
