    I went ahead and installed the latest 2.81, even though it was dated as you
said.  After the install I found a file in the Plugins directory named
IN_MP3.DLL, which is 132K in size and dated December 16, 2002, 1:55 PM.
Perhaps this is the file which created the fix.  Unfortunately, I didn't
check the directory contents prior to updating from 2.80.
