The problem is that this bug was definitely present in Gutsy, and possibly Feisty. So telling someone not to upgrade won't necessarily help them. If you are providing Tech Support for someone, I would say it is safe to upgrade to Hardy, but you need to go ahead and check their load/unload cycles using the tools mentioned in this thread, and if necessary, apply the fixes posted here.
