What version of the agent?

One of my customers has deployed the agent software as part of provisioning
Oracle Unbreakable Linux 4 U7 routinely and we have NOT seen that error.
Plenty of these boxes have the agent started and reporting into Grid Control
since at least Nov. 2008.

They do routinely run up2date, so they would have all the relevant patches,
so I wonder if there is already a fix for this available. I know some
graphics and disclaimers are different between RHEL and OEL, but I'm pretty
sure that is all, so I *suspect* the difference is patches.

Is there any word regarding patches in Note 729543.1?
