Sorry - of course there was a version change - better question is was it at
6.5.6 (when most of the PIDA problems had been fixed), was it in the
6.3/6.4 range when a number of PIDA problems were introduced, or was it 6.2
or prior before any of the PIDA weird stuff seems to have started?
Cheers,

Kevin
