Turns out to be 4.1.7 This suggestion fixed my query, thanks.
I'd tried that approach yesterday, but it was on an older version of MySQL (on our non-production server; I wasn't paying attention to the versions of MySQL betw. our test and production servers) - so my previous attempts with this syntax didn't work, because the environment didn't support it; chalk it up to 'human error' this time 'round.
