 Or, they could just cut to the chase and put up Unca Ilfak's patch for now. But as to what flew over the transom on 
DSLR, definitely needs more salt.   :)

 I can understand weirdities with more exotic setups, but our lab rats are pretty much your standard issue XPee Pro SP2 
with nothing changed on them. I've never seen chunks fly so far. Serious wall and ceiling decorating out of that build. 
And still trying to figure out why the number on it was KB912919 which didn't line up with the KB on their site. If it 
WAS malware, it was a dud.
