Yes.  That WAS an issue fixed in one of the betas about that time.  0.119
(the latest tarballed beta) should have it fixed.  I'm not sure if 0.117
or 0.118 or 0.119 fixed it tho (you could check the list of fixes), but it
was certainly fixed by 0.119.

As others have said, just post if you need help upgrading.  What
distribution, and where you are getting it would be useful info if you do.
