I just noticed this when I tried to compile with the recent em driver 
files. Since 6.2 is on the semi-near horizon, and since this bug has only 
been triggered twice, I might be willing to wait until October to try 
6.2. What makes this a more urgent issue is it was triggered on our most 
critical machines, and the effect of triggering the bug causes much of 
our business to come to a halt until our backup server takes over. If 
anyone has tweaked or is willing to tweak the new driver changes to work 
with 6.1 or 6.0 please let me know.

Thanks
