To Bruno and Charles,
if you can and willing, please do open support cases on these issues so 
that folks can escalate/report/track internally. It also helps for 
tracking/trending when folks impacted by something report these up vs 
hoping someone else did and/or it will be a self healing issue if you 
just wait :)

Regards,
Cliff
