   Again, 2.3.0 works for me pretty nice in this aspect. I am going to
switch to VirtualHostMonster, but now I use SiteRoot, and I am satsified.

   It was declared "stable" exactly because no one caugth such behaviour.
In the world of free software it is *you* who test software, send patches
to authors, etc. No one ought to do something special for you. Why didn't
you test 2.3 betas and caught these errors? Ah, you want only stable
software! Then pay for it! Either you must (I said "must") pay with your
time (test betas, make patches) or you can pay money. Buy a contract. DC
will provide you with all neccessary details about their contracts.
   Good luck!

Oleg.
