I think that the reason this comment is in there is that someone had 
written that they did not like the feature set of Apple's HD SC compared 
to commercial programs like FWB's HDT or LaCie's Silverlining.  I would 
assume the program actually works just fine (i.e. it makes partitions 
that work), but it might be more difficult to use than other programs.

If you are looking for the patch, it is available at any umich or 
info-mac mirror.  Look in the disk utilities directory.  It should be 
fairly obvious which one it is.

Later.
