I've stayed out of this, but I really have to comment at this point.

I got my (2.0.2 OS and CDS) fixes in the _mail_ before I got the
complaint from Karl across the net. I (1) emailed Marty per instructions
here, (2) got the fixes plus detailed instructions, and (3) installed
them with no problem whatsoever. I also do _not_ have a support
contract, as this is a personal system. Kudos to ISC.Support.Staff
for getting the fixes written, tested and delivered. They were even
only a week late ;-) and as a developer myself, I find that pretty
damn good.

As a postscript, I'm the one who posted here last week about the
tbl bug in 2.0.2. ISC support promptly posted back with a complete
list of bug fixes available. I called the support line yesterday
afternoon, (1) got through immediately, albeit after lots of voice
mail menu button-pushing ;-) and (2) found the person with whom I
spoke quite helpful at guiding me through the list of what I needed
for my setup. I've been promised that the disks will go out today
and I have no doubt they will.

To whoever is turning the crank now at ISC support, Congratulations!
Looks like it's working again. Thanks. =V=
