   Do you, or anyone else, remember which firmwares have seen this, or 
other, problems?  I have checked, and I'm running 4.22.33, which looks 
to be the most recent in the 4.22.xx line (patch 121683-06).  There are 
also two patches in the 142700 line, which provide OBP 4.30.xx.

   I'm trying to get a line on 142700-02 at the moment, but just wanted 
to see if anyone knew of versions that did or didn't work.  Thanks.
