I think you mistake me.  I am using the word "current version" to
refer to the most recent version released by the author of the
software (me), not the most recent version in the FreeBSD ports
collection.  It's not helpful to tell me there are bugs in my code
when you're not running the current version of my code.

3.0b2pl4.   However, 3.0b2pl4 is a fairly raw beta, and there are a
couple of known problems with it.   If you need to be running
something in production, I'd suggest you wait a bit.   OTOH, free
software improves when people try it and report bugs, so you've got a
bit of a Catch-22 going there.   :'}
