[ZendTo] Problem updating 6.05-4 to 6.13-3

[John Thurston]

Updating our test-system seemed to work perfectly. Not so for production.

After updating from 6.05-4 to 6.13-3, I have some strange behavior (and 
have reverted to the old, by way of a VMWare snapshot).

New drop-off and pickup seems to work as expected. Picking up recent 
drop-offs seemed to work as expected. But the "Show All Drop-offs" now 
contains some entries with numeric values (e.g. "235 637 597") in place 
of the expected strings (e.g. "22iUmVdjs9WxszxD"). I exported all of the 
drop-offs to a CVS. All of the numeric clamIDs show a zero size. And 
most of them are well past their expiration date. Most are only a little 
old, but some are more than 6-months old.

So I /suspect/ there are some old entries in the database which weren't 
cleaned up in the normal course of operations. The new code in 6.13 is 
finding them, interpreting them, and adding them to the list of 
available downloads. I also /suspect/ that the next reaping through the 
database by the new code would clean them out.

But I couldn't be sure, so I've reverted to 6.05 while I try to figure 
out what it is doing and if it is safe.

I know that 6.13 is now a couple of years old, so others probably 
performed their update in the distant past. But does anyone have any 
insight or advice?
