A brief clarification on the VT ghost session problem on 5.0 Push, with
excerpts from Eero (with his permission)...
 
----------------------------Original message----------------------------
- Another word about those VT ghosts on 5.0...  I don't think I stated it
  in my posting - d*** it, I should have!  Anyway, that problem is higly
  unlikely to be seen.  I would estimate that >95% of the systems out there
  will never see the problem.
 
  Going back to this ghost server problem,  the only system to see the
  problem here was a 995-800 running in high-speed test ring consisting of
  995's, 4-way kittyhawks and some 987-200's.  These systems are linked
  together with fast links such as FDDI.  The 995-800 was having trouble
  keeping up with a Kittyhawk pounding it over FDDI... None of our
  low-speed rings ever saw the problem.  Low speed rings run CPU's such
  as 917/937/947/918/928/935 and even MPE/V s70.
 
  I guess the point I'm making is that hopefully I did not create panic
  with the posting -- this problem is unlikely to be seen -- people can
  update to 5.0 even without having the patch and most systems will be
  fine.
 
You may post parts of this to decrease net's concerns about ghost VT's
on 5.0 push if you wish
 
Cheers,
Eero.
