I did check that on two installs already. I also checked on an old
install if the behaviour was different and found it to be different.

Unfortunately I've never run 4.2.4-4.2.5 and therefore cannot comment
on when exactly the change occurred. As 4.2.4 only existed for a day
(if I recall correctly), 4.2.5 or 4.2.6 would be the likely candidate.
I might try it on test systems as soon as I have the time and the
report this as a bug.

Cheers,
