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>

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><br>
