On my Power5+ box, I get an error (code B200A101) logged every time I
reboot and about half the time, the machine does not reboot but need to
be power cycled. Removing the cited patch makes the error not by logged
and reboots work fine.

Paul and I have been having a look at this and Paul has asked the
architects for clarification of when os-term should be used.
