It's a known problem with patchkit 5 & 6, that should be fixed in the
next patch kit; as it will be a while before this patchkit is released,
HP gives a fix to people that have a support contract.
I will therefore ask for this fix quickly. Thanks to Ann Majeske and Dan
Goetzman for their replies.
My statement about patchkit 5 was wrong: the problem is already there
with this patchkit. Patchkit 3 is ok, though.
