Dear Phil,

thanks for the release checking work.

However, I do not agree with your conclusion here. Your newly discovered bug 
hasn't been reported before, so it can't be very severe (even though it appeared 
to be a crasher in your test). On the other hand, we already discussed and 
agreed that 2.4.2 contains serious bugs that have been fixed already (mysql 
crash on windows, erroneous duplicate invoice feature) and those fixes alone 
already justify an imminent 2.4.3 release.

Hence, in this particular case I would have strongly preferred to have a 2.4.3 
release ASAP, even though other bugs like the one you discovered is still 
existing. But the fixes for the other severe bugs will mean that 2.4.3 will 
already be a big improvement over 2.4.2. We can subsequently fix other bugs like 
the one you've seen here, and include fixes for those in subsequent releases.

Thank you very much!

Regards,

Christian
