Well, after talking to the SUN support people, I got a tape containing no
less than six separate bugfixes, one of which covered the previously
mentioned one. 

It seems to me that news about bugfixes etc should be distributed by
software companies (such as SUN) to license holders, _without_ users
having to prompt the support people for this. 

I would like to know whether this is standard practice.
