No. But we had that stuff rather regularly with samba - their first line
of support seems to be : "Upgrade your version to the most current one,
then ask again."
That's what I meant.
That is very common with applications. They don't back patch old
versions, and the problem you ask about might be already fixed. Just
look at the dovecot list. People still pop in and ask why 0.99 has this
problem, because that is what their distro came with, but they are
currently at 1.0.5, and have 1.1 in beta. Who has the time to backport
fixes to old versions if you don't get paid for it?
And what's the point even if you do get paid? The problem is really in
distributions that by policy won't do a version level app upgrade even
in instances where it would clearly be better than patching the beta
version they chose to include.
