	We appreciate the amount of frustration that this issue has
caused, and your collective forbearance while we try to determine the
real cause of the symptoms and a potential fix for it as well.

	I hope you'll appreciate the fact that it isn't easy to
comment on a problem that is intermittant and very difficult to
reproduce.  As Carl indicates, we are hard at work on this problem; we
do seem to have a program that can sometimes reproduce it, and it does
seem to be more widely spread than just A/UX.  We will have more to
say later.  Stay tuned.

	In the meantime, we appreciate your patience and support.  :-}.

Regards,

Justin
