Conf.pm at line 76

Can anyone confirm if this bug appears in 5.005_02 unthreaded?

Has a normal install of 5.005_03 fixed this for everyone?  (please only
post to the list if it hasn't!)

Don't use threaded perl for production machines.  I would have thought all
the warnings about how experemental threads were would have warned you
off.  ;) 

I just added a note to the documentation.

5.004_04 - no

5.005_02 threaded - buggy
5.005_02 normal - ?
5.005_03 threaded - ?
5.005_03 normal - no
