Ouch, we were just about to deploy U9 8-/, wonder if it might be a good
idea to wait... The status of 6967658 is "Fix Delivered", seems to have
been fixed in build 148 (details now hidden in the secret Oracle repo I
suppose); so presumably they're working on an S10 patch. 6984043 is closed
as a dup of 6967658.

Sounds like it will either work fine or be broken depending on your
hardware. We've got X4500's with 1GB disks, has anybody had any problems
with U9 on that hardware platform?

Thanks...
