Version 3.6 assumed that <3.6.9> was <3.6, 0.9> and that trick has been 
used to shave a character or two here and there.
Versio 3.7 don't assume that any longer and no longer accept that 
construction. You need to change <3.6.9> to <3.6,.9>

In fact, it's not a bug but a correction of an inconstency.
