Re: Document Server Memory Leak Suspicion

  @Cor,
Thanks for following up for more details...

We tried using 3.3 this morning and it didn't really work with our 
DocumentLoader program and seemed a bit buggy-ish ~~ so maybe a no-go 
there (at least until 3.3. is official).

Yeah, you're right... the shakeup is a whole different subject... I 
suppose I am also a little apprehensive about the big corporation coming 
in on this great open souce resouce. I hope it all irons out for 
everyone involved ~ not just us users. Just wanted to say that since I 
may have come across the wrong way when I mentioned that before!  :)
