Hmmm... I just checked; one of our production systems is a multi-cpu Xeon
based system of uncertain age (nobody remember 'zactly). While we haven't
seen this problem yet, it's scheduled to take over demo-duty shortly and
it would be an embarassment if we had this trouble during a demo... Is
there any easy way to tell if you're at risk?
Thanks,
Richard
