Notable changes include updates for newer Linux kernels (including 2.6.25), 
Solaris 11 client support updates, and updated MacOS X support, a fix for
a potential fileserver deadlock, as well as improvements to the host tracking 
in the fileserver and updates to ubik to prevent database truncation when 
network links between database servers are unreliable. Since the previous 
version there are fixes to butc as well as the database servers.
