I've been putting off upgrading until the last possible moment in the (futile) hope that someone would look at this bug and I could provide some data.

After all it is marked as Urgent but yet its been around for over 2 years. I've even tried e-mailing the assignee directly but no response. What's the point of filing bugs if no one looks at them? Very disappointing.

Oh well, I tried. Tonight I'm upgrading with the DVD.

Steve.
