MPE/V System Administrators Pay Attention!
 
If you've received the MPE/V Release 40 Turbo Update, don't install it
without talking to the Response Center. It uses a special version of
sysdump to make your update tape. In the process of making a new SL
on tape it aborts because the temporary SL is built too small. You have
to coldload and restore @[log in to unmask] to get back to a working system. There
is a patch that will be available that will fix the broken sysdump to
perform correctly. I'm not sure if the patch is actually available yet
as we discovered the problem on 9/18 and a CE/SE in Australia had the
problem on 9/14.
 
If you're wondering why your update media wasn't CD-ROM or DDS/DAT, stop.
The update only comes on reel or cartridge tape. Major step backwards in
my opinion.
