I got my (2.0.2 OS and CDS) fixes in the _mail_ before I got the complaint from Karl across the net. I (1) emailed Marty per instructions here, (2) got the fixes plus detailed instructions, and (3) installed them with no problem whatsoever. I also do _not_ have a support contract, as this is a personal system. Kudos to ISC.Support.Staff for getting the fixes written, tested and delivered. They were even only a week late ;-) and as a developer myself, I find that pretty damn good. As a postscript, I'm the one who posted here last week about the tbl bug in 2.0.2. ISC support promptly posted back with a complete list of bug fixes available. I called the support line yesterday afternoon, (1) got through immediately, albeit after lots of voice mail menu button-pushing ;-) and (2) found the person with whom I spoke quite helpful at guiding me through the list of what I needed for my setup. I've been promised that the disks will go out today and I have no doubt they will. To whoever is turning the crank now at ISC support, Congratulations! Looks like it's working again.
