For those interested 5.5.25a has been released overnight, long after
oracle claimed it was there.
frankly., I think they ought to have use 5.5.26.
To those who replied to me directly, a few facts...
1/ it never affected me directly - my gripe with them was on principle
and their actions (or lack thereof) towards those that were affected
2/ to the wanker who said people deserve what they get for untesting on
DEV bed first ... this is true _IF_ it was a major release.
(as I hope we all do) _BUT_ you don't expect to get fucked over
by a point release, to have that happen, shows incompetence on the
part of the software developer, not the users.
