I have not received any further reports of problems with MS01-058, nor
have I received any SRX numbers representing cases opened by NTBugtraq
subscribers who encountered problems with MS01-058.

The lack of any further communications on this problem suggest it's a
non-issue, or at the least a rare occurrence. I have since installed
MS01-058 on several of my systems without problem.

If anyone encounters trouble, please remember;
