Re: the magical patch.  I have several systems which can't afford to
reboot often.  We were hoping to apply the patch at a reasonable time;
i.e., when the machines were down anyway, say, for standalone backups.
Now that it has been published, I know of several info-vax readers at
our site who are intelligent enough to deduce how to get around things.
This means I have to reboot these systems *before* they do.  Most of 
them won't bother, but one can't be sure...  Our manufacturing customers
will undoubtedly give you hearty thanks.

I will don my suit of armor for the time when, shortly after the required
reboot, they wish to skewer me...
