Err.. and this won't be fixed in 1.4?  Excuse me, but what's the point in
releasing broken software in the first place? ;-)

I mean, I was going to install 1.4 on all production servers I deal with..
but if essential tools like 'ps' print garbage, then I guess I'd better
stick with 1.3.3 instead.

Personally, I can wait for 1.4 for one more month if necessary - if the known
problems just get fixed.

(I just installed 1.4 BETA on my laptop - Compact FLASH cards still don't
work and I haven't been able to get kdm running yet..)

This was all IMHO.
