Re: port-hpcmips/51309 (ibm z50 crash during FTP full installation - same point but different error code)

Thanks for the acknowledgement. I feel I was correct forwarding this for your attention as you had contacted me asking for more information with relation to 51226 and it had not been fixed.

Would you kindly send me a link where I can download a version that has the fix installed, as I don't understand -current aka (head)??

I have only reported one bug via your website form which I assume goes to gnats-bugs -two requests 51226 and 51309 for exactly the same problem. I don't contact individual developers unless there is a good reason - as in this case.

Regards

David
