4.53.8 --- Re: 4.53.7, endless loop in debug mode

[Julian Field]

I have just release 4.53.8.

The only change (except for 1 comment) is the phishing net bug fix.

I'm very sorry for doing this to you folks.
In future, I would really appreciate it if more people would help  
with the beta testing. This bug really should have shown up in  
testing and didn't. But I realise that it is my fault for sloppy code  
in the first place. :-(

Jules.
