Upgrading to the latest bug-fix release in 4.3 *should now* be a straight
forward affair.  That said, the 4.3.0/4.3.1 release happened before
HylaFAX.org had set on a more straight forward bug-fix release style,
and one large "feature" was added to 4.3.1 that could affect your
upgrade, namely templates for faxrcvd/notify/pollrcvd.  So I would watch
out if you're doing anything "special" with faxrcvd/notify, but other
than that, it should be painless.

But since 4.3.1, any of big-fix version of HylaFAX (n.n.X) is intended
to be a straight-forward bug-fix only upgrade.

So if you're using 4.3, should should upgrade to the latest 4.3.X with
no pain (except the just mentioned template change that came in 4.3.1).

And if you're using 4.4, you should always upgrade to the latest 4.4.X 

Any new features/changes only go into CVS, and new versions (HylaFAX
A.B) are released, after which any A.B.X will only be bugfixes, while
new features/changes keep going in to head, which is destined to
eventually be HylafAX C.D (where [C,D] > [A,B])

If memory servers right, it only happens on "timed out" jobs, so if you
set the job killtime high enough, it shouldn't be hit.
