When it works, it is great.  We've run into a problem where it is
causing us system aborts and am currently waiting to hear about a bug
fix.  I haven't heard of any more systems, other than ours, that have
had this problem, so you are probably safe.

Right now, I'm looking into the logging function as well.  If I can get
the log file to reside on the HP box sitting next to it, then I think
that we might just switch to normal Image logging for our database
recovery scheme.
