Hi Peter, hi ALL,

I did it the easy way... ;-)

I decided to publish the update to v5.4 and the huge (important!?) patch
which followed a day later in two separate patches.

I tested both of them and found no seen problems. No crashes no
'exceptions'.

Running here under Core163 / 64bit.

Best,
Matthias
