we do need to have further information, or, to get the whole 6.3->6.4
diff reviewed, which is (in my opinion) not an optimal use of
developers' time.
I got your request at the beginning of a vacation period where I was
out of town. I had explicitly requested that 6.4 be blocked for this
issue. I didn't think that "just my problem" would be enough to hold
it up, but I apparently never even considered that -REL would happen
without even responding to my request.
Since nobody had responded to my request, and several posts had gone
out about more testing for 7.1 (which had the same loader and the same
problems) I assumed that 6.4 was similarly delayed. Had anyone said
you needed this information pronto I would have canceled my
Thanksgiving plans and spent the day in the lab testing this for you.
For that matter, I had already pulled a diff of 6.3 to 6.4 and was
working my way through it trying to find the relevant parts. If you
would have identified the relevant portions, I would have happily
tried backing out some of the changes on a per-component basis to
figure it out.
In short, tell me what you wanted/needed, and I would have done it ASAP.
It's apparently irrelevant now.
