Thanks for the quick response -- good to know it's been fixed, and
apologies for not testing with the latest version.
The Ubuntu version seems to be from February -- I suppose they'll catch up

is on a production server running stuff that's been there for years where
it's much more convenient to just use the Ubuntu updates -- it that respect
it's rather strange that this problem hasn't turned up previously).
Regards,
Paul Mothersdill
