We have had problems too - no error messages, just the date going 5 
hours behind on reboot, since New Year.  We have been told that it 
will be fixed "properly" in update 2003 (I too am confused about the 
level numbering - currently its 01.01.0001.0003, I think 2003 referrs 
to 01.01.0002.0003?!).
This revision is expected in Australia in about two weeks
