This assumes the plug-in was fully compliant with the plug-in specs. I don't
recall you guys being on the certified developer list. If so, you'd have
been advised of any internal changes that would have affected your plug-in.
This would have better served your customer base (though, with a free
product, hard to justify a lot of care in development perhaps...)

trouble-making plug-ins.)
