Actually I see words to the effect that the patch simply isnt THERE at
all : /
Even though Sunsolve has a size for the link.

FWIW?
Lately if screw us happen on a Friday they dont get fixed until late
Monday or Tuesday.
Heck we wouldnt want to PAGE anyone on a WEEKEND to fix something
they buggered up.
Especially when a weekend is a good time to get up to date with
patches for many customer sites.
That whole project is a rudderless ship and Capt. WrongWay PeachFuzz
seems to be at the helm : <
