Kudos to Rich and Craig of IBM/Austin for responding so quickly to my
inquiry.  Overnight, I got a bug fix on diskette for this problem; I
have yet to test it, but suffice it to say that IBM means it when they
say "we're working on it".

I have one more public request to make of IBM:  Can you make a bug
list and a directory of patches available on the Internet somewhere
(a la SCO, which maintains a patch archive on uunet), for those sites
which want to resolve already-fixed problems prior to getting an update
tape?  And can you make a periodic posting to this newsgroup about
known and fixed bugs?

I used to work for DEC's TOPS-10 support group, and would have loved to
have a communications medium like this in order to get information out
to customers more quickly.  This would probably save time and effort on
telephone support.
