Thanks!

Sorry but people won't always install the most recent version when running 
into smallish problems like this. Particularly not when they're working on 
machines where they are not superuser. We have other things to do than 
updating every two months. I may be egoist here but I think 
the list has to live with requests concerning old versions. (I use "version" so 
that people can tell me "has been fixed in the meantime" if this is the 
case.)
If you personally don't respond to them, that's your choice of course. But 
it doesn't work as a policy.

Regards,
Christian
