TimeBanking no longer works with -9999

I am just upgrading from radius 2.2 to 2.5.124 and am having problems with
my unlimited access accounts. We are using Access as our datasource. If
timebanking is enabled and the account has -9999 in the timeleft field then
Radius is replying with "Your account is out of time"

Changing this field's value from -9999 to a blank value is letting the
accounts be authenticated once again.

We now have to change each account's value to a blank record to enable this
to be authenticated. Our management interface ( Custom Cold Fusion pages)
will have to be changed as well to do this by default. There is no
documentation about this change. It is fairly fundamental !!!!!

Can anyone comment wether this has affected them as well.

Dale can you comment as to whether this was changed by design or accident,
Why there are no notes on this, and whether we could have both modes
supported for consistency purposes. I want to upgrade but the databases are
so different now there is no backwards compatibility between 2.2 and
2.5.124. The upgrade must be done in one foul swoop. I was kinda hoping I
could make 2.5 changes to the 22 database but still use 2.2 until we were
ready for the switch of executables.
