  That's good.

  You've said that already.  How about providing some *evidence*, like
debug output?

  You've said that already.

  You've also said that there are bugs with 2.2.4, but you refuse to say
what those are.

  So... you're asking for help, but you're refusing to provide any
useful information.  That is rude and anti-social.

  I can't help you until you say something useful.
