	:-) Any chance of a real-changes diff for review ?

	Good - so it sounds much more do-able.

	Of course, of course :-) It is good to dig into exactly what changed,
and of course it'd be nice to ship this. If you can generate the real
diff, (after all we've had 2 reviews already), and it is small enough,
I'm happy.

	Well, this is one of the joys of a time-based release. If the bug was
-that- startling, unexpected, urgent etc. surely we wouldn't have either
introduced it, or discovered it only three months into the 3.4.x series
- right ? [ and then just between RC1 and final ] ;-)

	Having said that - I'm not a pure PITA if there is an accurate and
complete patch of what actually changed here to review - then we can
review it - but I'm not a fan of approving big, confused, un-quantified
changes at the very last minute, and then shipping them for a month to
all our users, without widespread testing first.

	I look forward to reading the actual change; and I'd like to know more
of the history of this issue really, how it came to light so late etc.

	ATB,

		Michale.
