Hi Steve,

Thank you for the report.

No, either 2.2.x or 2.4.x should do.  (But the produced binaries are
slightly different.  In particular, you only get Large File Support if

Something broke between 2.4.21 and 2.4.22.  I can reproduce this now,
and will deal with it.

Meanwhile, you can try with 2.4.21-ow2.
