first, it is recommended to run latest stable in a stable series, in 
your case is 3.1.5, to be sure you don't face a bug which was already 
fixed. Overall, I would recommend you run the latest 3.2.x, it is the 
most recent stable and the most actively maintained.

Then, the thread you are referring it to the archive is for 1.5, does 
not apply anymore to 3.x -- also, iirc, it was a revert of a previous patch.

Can you set debug=3 and send the log messages?

Cheers,
Daniel
