Surely this should be "OpenServer 5.0.7" rather than "OpenUnix 5.0.7"?
Also, Tim, is this original 5.0.7, or Update Pack 3, or some other
update pack? If it's not Update Pack 3 perhaps we can just ask people
to apply the vendor-recommended patches.
I'd rather avoid this patch if we can avoid it. Here-documents are
trouble.

That'd be fine with me, if the issue is limited to OpenServer 5.0.7.
