I only have access to 2.1 and 2.5 at the moment, and both produce a
dump, so I shall take your advice that it always has. The source code
for burp.cpp shows exactly the same for all versions from 1.5 to current
trunk, so it looks as if my original docs were wrong. :-(

Thanks for the heads up.


Cheers,
Norman.
