Current Cougar status:

Due to the recent lun problems affecting our ability to deliver a usable
submittal to QA the decision was made to=20
defer the creation of this weeks Cougar submittal until such time as the
lun issues were resolved.

After this decision was made, QA requested that a submittal be created
for limited test use only.
There are a number of defect fixes that can be verified. The Dameware
testing can also be started.

Larry has finished the submittal and should be sending out the submittal
availability notification anytime now.

We have made good progress on the lun issues.
One of the memory allocation problems causing evm to crash has been
found, fixed, and is under test.
We have also identified a race condition on the FP that we believe is
responsible for one of the device id mismatch problems.
I am in the process of testing a fix for that.
There are still a few other lun related problems but I am confident that
we can resolve those as well by the end of next week.

Everybody pray for Jim's speedy recovery. His help is sorely missed.

Tim
