Thanks, Charles. I do see your point. One of the challenges we face in
this regard is that we're using a Long-Term-Support version of Ubuntu
(10.04) and 1.2.9 is the latest package in the OS's repository.

That said, we could upgrade manually, but this is a production server on
which downtime must be minimized, and we all know how unexpected issues
arise during installation (even when the procedure is tested in a
closely equivalent development environment).

Noted; thank you.

Maybe I'll wait until we upgrade from Ubuntu 10.04 to 12.04 to fiddle
with this further.

Thanks again,
