I don't really know - I switched to MySQL 4.x a long while ago, before the 
advent of versioning. But there is an issue with MySQL 3.23.x where some 
value overflows when doing versioning.

I never tested that fix (despite an early promise), but IIRC Kasper just 
didn't want it, because he thinks his solution is just fine. This has been 
discussed (in -dev or -english) and should be in the archives:
 http://lists.netfielders.de/pipermail/typo3-dev/2005-January/007538.html
 http://lists.netfielders.de/pipermail/typo3-dev/2005-March/008659.html

After having read this again I decided to have a look the next days, so we 
might be able to settle this for 4.0. Wouldn't that be nice? If someone has 
hard number on the count of MySQL 3.23.x setups out there, please yell - 
might come in handy when having to talk kasper into accepting a change. :) 
(no offense, Kasper!).

Karsten
