You know, it says Linux later but they are moving briskly<BR>
on a Windows test tonight. I would imagine a memory issue<BR>
like this, since it is impacting the heap on all O.S. servers,<BR>
if they patched the ranked windows code, it makes sense they<BR>
would also patch the unranked windows server code as well.<BR>
<BR>
They also know what they are looking for, and it is a specific<BR>
fix for this single issue, which minimizes risk in change.<BR>
<BR>
Perhaps this means the Linux patch is right behind it all goes<BR>
well tonight. EA's quick turn-around on this fix, as opposed to<BR>
a next patch, is indeed outside the normal M.O. This yields hope.<BR>
<BR>
Anyone know if they ever make releases on weekends? If so<BR>
perhaps we may see it before the weekend is out. If not, I can't<BR>
imagine they would intentionally hold back if the risk assessment<BR>
is very low.<BR>
<BR>
Thoughts on this? A weekend release?<BR>
<BR>
Tks<BR>

Which "nicely" states: "EA will select service providers for an open test<BR>
tonight." for the memeroy leak patch...<BR>
<BR>
So far for us ppl hoping to actually getting their hands on the fix within a<BR>
few hours. It'll indeed be their "ranked partners" first, who can "enjoy"<BR>
the normal memory consumption *way* before us unranked server users can...<BR>
ffs...<BR>
