Thanks for the reply. I can't replicate it on my test VM which is the 
only thing I have running ClearOS7. I've tried installing 3.3.3 
rebooting and updating to 3.3.4 and I've tried installing 3.3.3 then 
updating 3.3.4 directly over it without rebooting and they are both wfm, 
so I think I'll give up.

Thanks anyway,

Nick
