	That sounds reasonable.  If no one has any more sound advice, I think I 
will try that.

	I am always reticent to run anything outside the distro package.  Ive 
had problems in the past with doing so.  3.1.7 is pretty close, so 
unless there is a really solid reason to use 3.2.1 vs. 3.1.7, I think I 
will stick with the distro version and try the above.  Can you or anyone 
else give a reason why 3.2.1 would work when 3.1.7 would not?  More 
importantly, is there some reason 3.1.7 would make things worse while 
3.2.1 would not?  If not, then I can always try 3.1.7 and then try 3.2.1 
if that does not help.
