Hello Patrick,

I understand. Unfortunately I have no Red Hat 7 system available at the moment 
that I could test locally. 

I see that its no easy for you to update. But in my opinion you really should 
considering an update, especially as there are many bugs fixed in 5.0.7 (also 
some security related). 

If you can't install from an repository, you can always build from the 5.0 
stable branch source. There is documentation in our wiki on the process. This 
is something a lot of our users do. Or you can build an own (local) RPM packet 
and install this.

Maybe somebody else with more insight into the latest htable fixes can point 
to a recent fix - but even this needs to be installed somehow on your side.

Best regards,

Henning
