Has anyone had this problem when upgrading SSD to 5.30 version.

Compaq servers (total of 40)
NT 4.0 sp6a
Exchange 5.5 sp4(with hotfixes)

We upgrade the SSD version early last Sunday morning.  On Monday we noticed
that the MTA queues were getting high, user's calling reporting that could
not logon to Exchange, getting message server not available.  This happened
in the time frame of 8:10am - 9:10am, after that time frame passed all mail
starting processing through the MTA's and user's could login.  The same
happened again Tuesday morning during the same time frame, after that time
frame passed all mail was once again moving.

We talked with Compaq, they said that there is a known issue (bug) with the
updated 5.30 version of SSD and the NIC driver update.  The network
interface card (NIC) driver in the 5.3 release caused buffer overruns and
underruns, which created malformed packets that caused communication
problems between the Exchange server's NIC and the Nortel switch.  The
problems were most noticeable during the early morning hours because
typically one of the first tasks of a user is to sign on and check email
upon arriving at work.  We had to roll the NIC driver (only) back to 4.90.
That took care of the issue. 

Just wanted to know if any one else has experienced this problem.
Thanks
