Yet another crash-condition has been eliminated. This time it involved the optionally-configured command line parameter "-P PrefFilename" which was hiding a syntax killing typo. But this quick-fix release ALSO repairs a logic flaw (of TWO earlier quick-fix attempts) that had not solved but merely moved a problem of identifying proper VPATH revisions. That movement (while appearing to work for VPATHing) had simultaneously deactivated recognizing the "2 revision values with a SINGLE Filespec" input pattern for ALL other SCM instances! - clearly NOT what was intended.
We strongly recommend that anyone using an earlier V5.5.X point release upgrade to this version as soon as convenient to avoid this issue.
