- If IDS does not have pathes (fixes) then what is this:
http://www-1.ibm.com/support/docview...id=swg24009130
- Such a bug in optimiser is like faulty stearing mechanism in a car - you
cannot trust an application build on something like this. Maybe 'other guys'
are also not faultless but what is a problem with fixing (whithout extra
charge) things which when not fixed makes a product unusable (what a kind of
agrement is that)?
In automotive industry they are even installing a path for you (product
recall)
