Slightly wrong: there are at least y2k patches for 4.1.3_U1, but not for
4.1.3 (IIRC).
4.1.3U1 had a nasty memory subsystem bug (somehow related to network, didn't
manage to find out the exact reason: packets on the network caused the
machine to die silently, sometimes soon, sometimes later, sometimes a
shutdown wouldn't complete). Since I upgraded to 4.1.4, those probs seem
to have gone.

Steffen, who still has 4.1.4 on his working group's print server and enjoys
it :-)
