I am not in a position to provide a formal reply just now but have 
asked folks that are in such position for help replying here,
notably to come up with a contact point.

From what I gather it is a recently found (at Comdex :-( before eyes of CRN
reporter ?!), rare, problem around raid-5 rebuilds (those themselfs already
being rare one hopes).  A Read-me-first has been created for new to be 
shipped sub-systems and an ECO & communications package is activly worked on.

Hope this helps a little,	+--------------------------------------+
