Thanks Julian, I will upgrade to 4.35.11 and try the patch.

The code there changed quite a bit between 4.35.9 and 4.35.11 if I
remember
correctly.

<hack type="nasty">Unpack the 4.35.11 distribution and start from the
Message.pm file in there. Backup your 4.35.9 Message.pm first, but you
should be able to copy the 4.35.11(+patch) Message.pm file over the top
of
your 4.35.9 file.</hack>

The "correct" solution of course is to just upgrade from 4.35.9 to
4.35.11,
then apply the patch.
