[plug] old binaries

[Rob Dunne]

Hi Anthony,
         thanks for sorting that out. I was too impatient
and just installed them -- for once it worked.

yes these are the ones I should have installed. I will remove 
the ones I have installed and use these -- just incase there are 
problems waiting for me

yes -- this is what I should have done.

On a broader note -- why doesnt RH7.1 simply support older binaries?
It hardly seems reasonable that upgrade a system and then find that 
programs in /usr/local/bin no longer work.
