Comment 13 for bug 1812754

I just saw this. Sorry for the delay.

I use the version distributed with my Linux, and follow the versions
there. I'm never going to be at the bleeding edge, and I don't want to
mess with the support I get.

May I suggest that it's easier for you to do a quick load of the two
samples I suggested than it is for me to do an unsupported upgrade and keep
following thereafter. This is especially true if you run it under Ubuntu
or anything where you can use a command line like I did. This is a VERY
quick way to reproduce the problem or confirm it has been fixed.
