Hi Kavitha,

Rather than hijack the previous thread, I've started a new one -
comments below...

FWIW, that version rebuilds cleanly for me in mock.  The client works
with servers of various releases, and the server appears to work fine
(tests complete, no hanging, etc.), however, I did notice db logging is
no longer working.  It appears to have broken somewhere between 3.5.6
and this release, though I don't have any intermediate builds handy to
help narrow it down further.  If you need, I can try to do that.

The db appears to initialize correctly at startup:

However, during a test, it fails to update the db:

I do use the db logging feature and find it useful - any ideas why/where
this stopped working?  Let me know what additional info you need to help
track it down.

Cheers,
