I use SP-8.0.1969.40 (KB917960) on W2K SP4, and that is broken. Interesting that SP-8.0.1969.1 is broken, too, but SP-8.0.1969.32 is not. As you write current is 45, how can one easily determine at any time which the most current version is? Is there a MS page about that? (I will test 45 in the next days.)

There's no specific page at MS to find out what the most current version is.
I do a search every now and then to find it. I've posted the results on a web
page at http://www.interix.ca under "bugs".
I'm going to ask an MS PM about this.

I'll ponder on this some more (others are welcome to add comments for
or against this idea for influence [:)]).
