That is timely news. I returned my CM7000 package for replacement as defective 2
months ago, and just heard that they are shipping the replacement to me now. So
I will soon be able to test:  (1) Whether the original CD was in fact defective,
or just buggy.  And (2) Whether the new patch does me any good.  Cheers!
