I've heard from my usual anonymous sources this morning
that RSI is well aware of these problems and that the
calvary is on the way. Tell your boss you want to "think
deeply" about the problem you are working on and don't
want to publish until you are sure you won't embarrass
him. He'll appreciate the extra time it takes. :-)

Cheers,
