Well, criticising a report that actually mentiones this in such a snarky
manner isn't either, especially since I did not impose any burden upon
everybody (having fixed MY problem MYSELF). The problem wasn't fixed
when I had it the first time about 2 months ago with a brand new and
up-to-date version. And googling around did not indicate that such a
problem had been fixed recently, so updating was too risky: If updating
to the latest version using pear wasn't as problematic as it is
(breaking my installation about every third time) I would have updated
before debugging and reporting MY solution.

Thanks anyway. The next time (and now) I'll just keep my mouth shut.
