Of course, the best thing would be to try and identify the cause of
the problem and get it fixed.  To do this, you need to proceed with
the advice and patches previously given.

If you really can't stay with 5.4 and try to work this to conclusion,
I'd recommend going for something you know will work instead of diving
in to a whole new untested environment with its own new set of
potential problems to overcome.
