 Yes ! yes ! yes and more yes !
 One more time AIX is the problem.......

 IBM : Why not to do it standard ????

 Why so many troubles ???

 Why I have to be aware of hear something relation with AIX problems and bugs??

 Why that montly 'updates' (patches) ???

 Support Team : Please, please, when you fix some bug in previous releases
    please don't do any ones in the 'last' release ( I mind 3.1.5 )


 Greetings ... after all for not to hear us ....
