When I originally posted I was on 0.22-fixes.  I'm now on 0.23-fixes.

Noted.  I don't think I've done that.  The only partial restore I did was when 
going from 0.21 to 0.22 due to the problems with default Gentoo MySQL configs.  
Which I've fixed.

Yes, I will mail you one soon.  Thanks for your time.
