KNOWN ISSUES IN THIS RELEASE:
============================

---------
Retriever
---------
The ARC Retriever may have problems handling heavy load


--------
Exporter
--------
* When encountering a problematic file to export the Exporter child process
  handling this will die, instead of just skipping this file. Results in invalid 
  xml output, which in turn will wreck the indexing of this specific Nwa 
  Document file  


-------------
Search Engine
-------------
The test page of the Lucene search engine doesn't behave correct on platforms
configured with certain character sets. The access module is not affected by this.
