Hi strk,

Hmmm... haven't got time to do a new installer but could quickly compile and
email Martin a new liblwgeom.dll if you could supply a patch against RC4....

I would say that a crasher is definitely worth bringing out RC5, otherwise
we get people confused as to whether they are using RC4-1 or RC4-2 (plus it
doesn't help the Unix users). If you can send me the patch, I'll quickly
apply and send Martin the DLL. If it works then my call would be go for RC5
beginning of next week just to avoid confusion....


Kind regards,

Mark.
