If you have been having any problems since the commit of this workaround, try the new fix and see if your problems go away (but also make sure the startup bug hasn't been reintroduced).

I can try it - testing against the startup bug is hard since it's intermittent (and slightly uncommon). BTW, coach me as to what files *exactly* i have to replace when updating my current build with a newly-built version? I've tried replacing just the executable before and it caused immediate and halting problems, so I figure I should ask.

Actually it ends up that I had to do fresh installs to get it working (had been overwriting files before, as the manual instructs). It's a little bit of a pain to get all settings transferred and operational again, but seems to be working ok for now.

The idea is you would use this as your main build for days/weeks/months, so if it's going to happen it would show up.

Yup, will do, running your 3.5.1 now.
