GlacierWe discovered a few days ago a latent bug in 7.31TD2 wherein IDS does not always shutdown when Win2000 is rebooted. This sometimes causes PANIC, and you are in Hell and have to restore. We've gone to shutting down the service manually before a boot. IBM has a patch for this behaviour, but you have to buy support to get any bug fixes. Microsoft (and others) usually give bug fixes for free. (Granted, MS has alot more bugs). Is there no way to get a patch without getting contract from IBM? sending to informix-list
