Possible...

That should be ok. If it's using 30 minute timeouts, it's surely not 
what is supposed to happen, but filing a bug agains a version prior to

As most distros don't have reasonably up-to-date packages, I usually 
compile from source. For my own site :-) Customers get the 
project-provided packages, or the ones Bacula Systems offers.
