Yes, I get those errors with version 2.18.2, but not with 2.19.15.  Do Release 
Notes for the various releases exist?  That would show, e.g. all differences 
between v.2.19.15 and v.1.18.2 or between v.2.19.15 and v.2.19.14?  Or between 
the current stable versionj and the current developmental version?
