In the short term, it is "also" an operational issue.  I had planned to do
a PP5 update this weekend.  Which means I'd have to take the system down
for it.  (The machine at my company is nominally running 7x24 operations.)

If there is a known bug, it stands to reason that there is going to be a
"patch" later on.  Which means I'd have to take the system down "again"
sometime.

Due to the nature of 7x24, I'd rather take the system down once for an
update than twice.  So am contemplating delay of the update.

(Although it says something for the nature of an HP3000 that it isn't
being shut down all too frequently.)
