I am not currently using it.  And I have also heard of some threading
issues on freebsd, according to one of the freebsd lists the issue was
fixed by switching threading libs, it effected 2.x as well.  And I do
agree with letting one minor release go by if possible.  And there
should not be much pain going from 3 -> 3.1 if needed, 2.x -> 3.1 will
be harder the keywords/macros have changed in the 3 train relative to
the 2 train.  And since you needed to upgrade from 1 to something. why
have to do it twice?

thanks,
