i know that feeling... and the opposite... it was 102F (38.9C) here 
yesterday...

ewww... i never had that problem...

search and replace worked a treat... i was just hoping that there were not any

they are/were definite bugs... i'm curious to see what michael comes up with 
based on my report... it could be simply newer compiler requirements with 
stricter rules and newer standards being used...

eg: i ran into problems when flightgear implemented some new C++11 type code... 
compiling FG on 14.04 was a trick but they fixed it up and we're still good to 
go even though 14.04 is now out of support... i've got to bite the bullet and 
cross my fingers and run the distupgrade thing... first i need to get another 
1TB HD to clone to in case things go sideways... i'm more worried about messing 
up my virtual machine hosting capability... especially after i've just gotten 
my 64bit VMs to run again with the recent 14.04 stuff... i was having to force 
boot to an older kernel for them to run properly...
