Your problem is probably not related to the fact there there has been a new
release :) I am glad the upgrade solved the problems (sometimes it is the
opposite) but I think that's a coincidence.

Just being curious, which command did you use to upgrade QuickForm ?

I agree that it was a weird coincidence. The reason I correlate them was that
(a, it worked), but b, I went to bed around midnight with things working and
woke up with them not. Before I upgraded, I was going to ask the list if there
were any server events that could cause this to happen -- maybe that question
still holds and I wrote it off too quickly when the upgrade solved things.
Meaning, was there anything the administrator could have done in the wee hours
to cause this mal-function? The whole thing was definitely weird.

To upgrade first I did pear list-upgrades. It showed upgrades as
HTML_Quickform, PEAR.php, and a few xml packages, which I'm not using.
I tried pear upgrade HTML_QuickForm. This gave me an error, which I forget
(sorry).
Then I tried pear upgrade-all, which worked, and, as noted also solved the
problem.

Hmm... Guessing here, but this may be related to old HTML_Common (as usual).
This explains both the weird behaviour and an error (failed dependency, most
probably) on upgrade.
