Modified: binaries/win32 README.html
Log:
Enough bug collection - the report of removing an important HKLM registry
key is enough for me to pull our recommendation of this package.

+<p>Apache 2.0.32 was released as a BETA. That means it is NOT yet
+ production-stable code. After one week, we pulled the .msi installer
+ on 26 Feb, after a user reported a significant problem that the installer
+ may delete the HKLM/Software/Microsoft/Windows/CurrentVersion/Run key
+ upon uninstall. Until that behavior is verified or corrected, and until
+ the service installs properly for all users, we are holding off further
+ binary distribution.</p>
+
+<p>The 2.0.32 port also contained a significant bug in parsing or transmission
+ of larger files in some cases. This is an extremely obvious bug when it's
+ triggered, the side effect is usually a GP fault. The server also could not
+ start on any NT installation running Terminal Services. Both bugs are fixed
+ for the next, 2.0.33 release. Knowing all that, if you still insist on trying
+ the beta while waiting for .32, you can find it in the .old URI hiding below
+ this location, with the other Win32 packages we do not recommend.</p>
