As far as I know all crash related regressions are fixed with 2.4. Performance is our current focus, but I question how critical this regression is relative to the other enhancements, bug fixes, and what have you. If I were the release manager, I would offer you the following compromise: * We release 2.4 now and; * when we find a fix for this regression we apply it to 2.4 and release it as 2.4.1. How does that sound? Note: I'm not the release manager and so even if you like this idea, it doesn't mean Reinier will go for it :) Jason
