Hi Darrin,
We upgraded to 5.2.0 on our 4500 box during Christmas break (I think
that was the time frame). I haven't experienced any problems with the
release except that it seems to have a memory leak. I'm running a rule
to block the Nimda worm and after a couple of weeks, I get messages "out
or application specific resources" or some such message. The work
around for this particular problem is to reboot the box, but I don't
like to do that during the day.
I reported the problem to Packeteer and they said that they knew about
the issue. I got an advance copy of 5.2.1 that will be in general
release very soon. I haven't installed it yet, because we're still
running OK on 5.2.0, but intend to install it next Friday afternoon.
