If anyone cares, I'm using 1.4.3 and it's been working great for me so far.
I'm on XP Pro using MS Visual Studio 2005.  By the way I think you guys have
made some really great additions/modifications to the library in the last
few releases.

I'm +1 to retract 1.4.3 and release 1.4.4 as soon as practical...

... but let's cool down, the place is not on fire, 1.4.3 has been out in 
the wild for a few weeks already, a few more hours won't make much 
difference...
