The problem seems to be fixed in the current version. Btw. if there
hasn't been a similar bug report before, it is still okey to post it,
for all others who will have the same problem again and can read in the
mailing list if a solution is the upgrade. You now, never touch a
running system, especially if it's running a highly used production site.

Btw. the update went without a glitch and was done in 5 Minutes, good
work for that. But I didn't know that and asking before having to
restore something for hours because of a failed update seems legitimate
to me.
