The best information came from alan_at_nabeth.cxo.cpqcorp.net, who said
that the 8.3-1 version referenced in the 5.1A release notes is not
actually widely available, although it could be had. He also said "that
the only thing it fixes is to add a locking feature to work nicely with
SWCC over virtual console access."

I went ahead with our upgrade and 5.1A is working fine with the 83Z-0
firmware that we have.

I don't speak for anybody but myself - that's enough trouble.
