also mine is reproduceable every time.. I have two firewalls in the box and If I 
load the new code I cannot save any changes... and it doesn't work propertly
running back at 5.1ap9 for now... here is the original message I sent and it has
NEVER been resolved...


here is a log of  my problems..

the file p75600.bin is a rename version of the b.p75 file..
i.e.

E:\NET\p50>checksum p75600.bin
