I will upload these fixes, as I realise you have much better things to be doing. ;-)
I am currently trying to finish a fix to provide back-compatibility to Php4 from Php5 platforms, but
depending on how that pans out might just do an interim release to get these bugs off the list.
Either way I will be doing this earlier than March 25th, probably within the next week.
Cheers,
Paul.
