Well, if you're within the "new purchase" support window (60 days, I think)
you should have email-class support (at the least).
However, many patches are available without a support contract (I believe
the policy is bugfixes for everybody, enhancements for support customers).
It sounds like you want U200-008 - just anonymous ftp to ftp.bsdi.com, cd
to bsdi/patches, and get it. You'll probably want to get the README file and
see if there are other patches you should install while you're there.
