fyi, I did hear from an HP contact that the hpsa update was working
for him on new servers.

I've been planning a security update, but work travel has been
intervening. An upload in the next couple days should be doable
though. Given your statement above, do you think this should be based
on -47 or -46?
I'll probably drop the fix for CVE-2012-3552, at least for this
upload. Your suggestion for avoiding the ABI change is good, but I'm
not yet confident enough w/ the backport.
