>1) When is this bug going to be fixed

	Engineering is working on it now.  It is a "High Priority" bug.
	The problem is VERY keyboard/motherboard specific; it only shows
	up here on one keyboard <mine :-( > and then only once a week or so.

	I will post a note here when the fix is avaliable.

>2) What use is a support contract.

	When the fix is avaliable, you can get it (no charge) just by calling
	and asking for it.  If you don't have a hotline support agreement,
	you get to wait till the next release.
