Well, for example:

I have only machines with 32 bit CPUS, none of them is hot-pluggable and none has an i915 graphics chip. All my local users are "trusted", nor am I running any multi-threaded Java applications on SMP systems. (I also have no idea what ICM pages are, but they sound jolly impressive!)

And what is "native_read_tscp" all about?

So why am I being "STRONGLY encouraged to upgrade to this release"? (Your emphasis.) Is it because otherwise you're going to sneak up and burn my house down?

Cheers,
Chris
