4.x barely tells me anything.  Code in the 4.x can mean anything in
the last 18 months.  P

There are two major code versions:

      4.1.xx: old, stable
      4.5.xx: new, stable

I do not know of any problems in 4.5.xx.  The code does take
appropiate steps to work around those problems.

you might have described that to your shrink, or perhaps a frog
sitting on a rock, but I never saw any detailed bug reports about
this.
