I was told by an SGI person, who appears to know what's going on, that 3.3
is NOT a "push" release.  This means 3.3 will be sent only to those who ask
for it, or those who are on record with SGI has having bugs that are fixed
in 3.3.

I'm not sure of the procedure for asking for it.  I'd try calling
the hotline/helpline (or whatever it's called), and then contact your
local salesperson if that doesn't work.
