- First of all, I'm not sure what you mean by "DELL R4.1". Dell shipped what
- is known as Issue 2.1 and 2.2, roughly parallel to SVR4.0.3 and SVR4.0.4.
- Anyway, if you bought it in the last two weeks, it's probably Dell Issue 2.2.
- I haven't seen a report of this problem. I don't believe you have sent
- in a bug report to support@dell.com. If not, please send a description of
- the system there.

- again, I'm not sure what release this means.
