Confirmed; metalink note 166752.1.
And a Xeon could (is?) actually be a PIII, but is seen (disguised?) as a PIV by the installer.
JServ, is affected as well, as I found out today, and JInitiator doesn't work too well , either. Upgrade JInitiator to 1.1.8.10 or up, or -even better- 1.3.1.9, if running forms with patch 9 or higher.
