i haven't heard any release date (but i haven't asked).  however unless and
until i hear i shouldn't from sun the patch can be found in

ftp.acsu.buffalo.edu:pub/bug1029939.tar.Z

there's a 4 and 4c version but the 4 version did *not* work on my 490 and
i haven't gotten anything from sun on it yet.

(did *not* work means the 490 wouldn't boot.)
