we've installed the patch on one of our boxes here and have seen no
problems.

what we have seen, however, is a greater than 50% reduction in the rate of
memory leakage using shared arrays and hashes.  quite an amazing difference.
with a go-live date in just over a week, we couldn't be happier.

well, that's not true, it's still leaking memory, but i don't know how.  if
i'm able to isolate any more cases, i'll submit another bug report.  thanks
so much for getting this fix out!
