To Andy's official answer, I'll add that the external library/startup fix is
a fairly crucial addition to my image. Before Blair provided the initial
fix, I arrived at a bang-on-the-box workaround for a problem I was having
with sockets. Whether from the beginning (but I _think_ Blair said it was a
result of the initial hot fix) or introduced later, there was a bug that
resulted in a cached pointer being used to access the VM library, sometimes
with disasterous results. While normally dormant, when that bug bites, it
usually results in a complete lockup of the offending Dolphin app and
considerable collateral damage to the Windows session. However, I had one
machine that went so far as a blue screen in response to it.
Note that one could probably get by with the official release and patch
given a little hacking related to sockets. Is there something in particular
bothering you?
Have a good one,
Bill
