Any experience with this? I know this devil, and am not anxious to adopt an
unknown one (5.0/MP?) ... Can someone help me get *this* version stable
for a while?

I have a SOl8/NBU4.5MP5 server that has:

    1) Never had an evaluation key on it
    2) Had now 3 support calls over the last 14 months on this one issue 
(The last
         being the first admission of a problem)
    3) Does have the "fix_RSVmn39461.tar.Z" applied (MP6 
bprd/libVlicense.so)
    4) Has averaged an MP U/G every 2-3 months (very disruptive in my 
env), with
        new (surprise!) problems at each turn ...

... and still has periodic (differing periods) error code 161 BPRD 
shutdowns:
