Upgrade from 2.02 to 2.1rc4 Fails

Had problems with getting the user registration working on a site I am setting up- the mail out wouldn't function. Then found the upgrade to 2.1RC4. Went through the steps in the upgrade page carefully, but the result when I go to the new install is :

Notice: Undefined variable: subject in /blahblah/public_html/mysite.new/kernel/bit_error_inc.php on line 60

Anybody know where you can change the SMTP settings, including port?
