This patch is suppose to fix the problem that exists in inetd.mod from the
V5.1B OS upgrade.  We upgraded two of six servers and couldn't restore to
a 5.1A server.  I also couldn't restore 5.1A backups to a 5.1B server..

I have been able to backup and restore 5.1B -> 5.1B once so far, and I need
to test more.  But this is the same delima I was in a month ago.. and still
may have.

Everytime HP patches or upgrades the OS they break something with backups.
EVERY TIME!!!
