agreed. Apart from the fact that the patch might not even be
applicable for 4.5, which I'm sure of (without checking), the 4.5
release was never recommended for serious OOP applications, and many
thing just don't work there (since it was our first experimental OOP
release). Therefore I think it's not worth going further back than
4.6.

Thanks for the patch,
Janus
