We're running v1.5.3 happilly and very recently installed v1.5.4 into
one site.

Whether it was related or not is unclear, but reports of an additional
spurious insertion cropped up when adding a key record. At the same
time a newsgroup post appeared pointing to a v1.5.4 index issue - so
we went back to v1.5.3 for safety.

Plus when we next move we want to move to v2.x
