Re: Problem with AccountHashGenerator(config)

[John Goerzen <jgoerzen@xxxxxxxxxxxx>]

It sounds to me that you haven't updated your configuration file to work
with the new format.  Take a look at the file debian/changelog for details. 
Somewhere around 3.99.12, the config file changed, and you'll need to change
the config file to run it with 3.99.18.
