The latest patch for this issue seems promising so far, but for the sake
of being cautious, 11.0-BETA2 is going to be delayed by a few days.  The
rationale is that we want to see the affected machines survive uptime of
at least 48 hours.

At this point, we are looking at the fix being committed in just over
one day, followed by the normal 3-day MFC timeframe.  If this changes,
an update will be emailed.

Apologies again for the delay with 11.0-BETA2, and thank you for your
patience.
