You sure you're actually talking to the 8.4 server? Because that's
exactly what you'd get if you tried to feed the command to an older
release.
You might in fact need a newer snapshot too. The main window functions
commit went in 2008-12-28 but I recall that there were some mop-up fixes
afterwards. At best a 1-Jan snapshot would be a bit unstable.
