Be very careful with wru8610, or indeed wr08610. This is a fix that
installs a 32 bit stack, I have found it to be unreliable in some
circumstances. In addition, if you remove it, things get left behind
that can cause Java 1.1.7 and later to cause a ring 0 trap.

I have stayed with the wr08424 update, after applying wr08423. This is
OK, at least for me. Of course, YMMV.
