Good question - no.  Although, from my understanding of the underlying 
mechanism, I'd doubt if it made much difference.  However, I'll see if I 
can get a version from before Sep 2001 to test.  The sourceforge site 
doesn't list binaries from that early.

I'm sorry, but I don't quite understand the question.  I think my answer 
should be 'no' :).
