Whoa!

Some clarification here... in my case this was not a big issue...
Originally I just needed to make certain that that I was not picking up
a problem that was something specific to my setup (which is not exactly
standard SuSE).

I have run the above without any issues, and as far as I can work out
the problem (if it really was a problem) is fixed (for me) with 10.2...

I will file a report if you still wish me to, and BTW should it be
against original...

I cannot say anything about the 10.3 reports as I am still on 10.2. (As
I have accumulated number of non-SuSE bits and pieces I am probably
going to be late to the 10.3 party as I need to put together a cunning
plan to manage the 10.3 upgrade :-) ) So I am not really best placed to
comment on these...
