Beware of patch NSTEDL8A for 5.5 which has just gone to GR.

The beta version of this patch that I installed a while back seems to have
broken the bootp server that runs under inetd.  We didn't realize this until a
printer hang situation prompted us to power-cycle our JetDirectEx boxes, which
then were unable to get any response to their bootp broadcast to obtain their
TCP/IP configurations from our 3000.

As a workaround we had to reactivate a bootp server on an HPUX machine.

I opened an HPRC call last week, but so far no fix yet.
