The "pack_name" bug exists in the following versions: 6.3.0 - 6.3.5 6.3.7 It is fixed in: 6.3.6 6.3.8 - 6.3.10 6.4 The problem was that 6.3.7 was released before I heard of this bug, but I still managed to get it into the posted patch #6. I thus had to produce a patch #8 to fix the bug in 6.3.7 as well. Patch 8 was posted here last week! -- Kim F.
