[OPEN-ILS-DEV] 2.5 client issues

[Mike Rylander]

Peter,

It's odd seeing the Pure Perl version of JSON in use, so first I'd
suggest installing JSON::XS on your server(s).  Then, you'll probably
want to make sure you're on the latest OpenSRF release, which contain
(IIRC) some improvements to the boolean type detection.
