Problems with inline warnings.

[Michael Svendsen]

Ahh.. sorry

I thought they were "only" security patches. So I would wait applying them
until I was sure the system was running.

I'll try patch it then :)

Thanks


Best Regards

Michael

5.411 is not a "new version". It is the one I recommend, and (as my
instructions on the web site say quite clearly) it needs the security
