Default Potential MAJOR bug in KB969604?

I still wish someone would explain _why_ I should install SP2, which
is still sitting there in "Available Updates" labeled "important."
What does it do?

Then I would of course immediately install the hotfix.

Or will there be an SP2A that fixes the problem in the first place?

Note, however, that the hotfix does not "fix" any variables that have

Peter, you missed Graham Mayor's posts in this thread on 2 July:

Now tested - and it does appear to fix the problem with the variables.

Could someone with the appropriate Microsoft contacts keep this tread
updated so that we're aware of when a fix (other than removing KB969604)
is
available to this issue.


Many thanks to all - Peter Hewett-
