Hi all,

Apologies for having dropped out of the thread, night intervened here. ;-)

Do you know what these releases are?  Are we talking 2.6.x or 14.03?
The 14.03 series has had a fair few rapid point releases and doesn't
appear to be anywhere as near as stable as 2.6 was when it came out. :-(

My intention was to provide the data that led us to want PMI2, but if
configure had an option to enable PMI2 by default so that only those
who requested it got it then I'd be more than happy - we'd just add it
to our script to build it.

All the best!
