well as far a we know there is only one person affected with this
problem.  Rolling back this line to 1.41 code would leave the
problem for other users to trip on.  So in this case I think that's
a good option.  At least until some better opportunity is found.

Another option is just to stay with 1.41.  The main changes
from 1.41 to 1.42 are related to handling exported types
through DLLS.  If this user isn't doing this, then there's
not much benefit to upgrading in any case.

lol - It's not deliberate - which I suppose illustrates the point
even better !
