The problems with OS/2 fix pack 17 have been documented here before.  However,
it got us anyway yesterday.  One of my customers installed it on Sunday, and
then called me up on Thursday in a Panic because the Version 2 server wasn't
working with OS/2 - seems he hadn't backed anything up between Sunday and
Thursday, but wanted to blame our upgrade on Wednesday night!

The problem here is that Lotus Notes support is highly recommending Fix Pack
17, so beware if you are backing up Notes servers.  Of course the fix from
ADSM solved his problem.

In the meantime, it has been suggested that Fixpack 17 is really not too bad -
has some noticeable performance improvements.  The ADSM fix only addresses the
client code.  Is there an associated fix for the Admin client?  (I assume the
problem hits the admin too.)
