Comment 1 Jesse Glick 2002-02-26 11:23:45 UTC 
Please file a BugTraq bug against the JDBC module. Or perhaps Patrick
knows what happened.
Comment 2 Patrick Keegan 2002-02-26 11:40:19 UTC 
No idea. To my knowledge, nothing changed there. Bob and Radko, FYI. I guess you should expect to see a 
BugTraq issue on this.
Comment 3 _ hlu 2002-02-26 18:50:53 UTC 
A new bug has been entered in bugtraq(id=4643326) in help module.
I did not enter the bug in JDBC module as there are two jdbc module(jdbc-client and jdbc-drivers).
Comment 4 Radko Najman 2002-03-12 09:51:30 UTC 
Bugtraq category for JDBC module is jdbc-client.
Comment 5 Bob May 2002-03-12 16:38:42 UTC 
Radko, this is a problem from an older build. It's been fixed, and is
not specific to JDBC. Please get a newer build and confirm.
Comment 6 Radko Najman 2002-03-13 08:06:30 UTC 
Confirm. Cannot reproduce in the latest build.
Comment 7 Bob May 2002-03-13 16:33:02 UTC 
Verified, per Radko's confirmation.
Comment 8 Quality Engineering 2003-07-01 16:18:21 UTC 
Resolved for 3.4.x or earlier, no new info since then -> closing.
