1.6.2"Optional" Patch Issue(s)

I upgraded to 1.6.2 yesterday. no problems. on login this morning, i'm given the option to upgrade which claims some performance improvement (tbh, I didn't have any complaints about the 1.6.2 original).

after installing this optional "patch", i've noticed that calling cards and IM's don't appear to function - at least not as expected. I have all my calling cards in Inventory, but they don't correspond to my IM friends. in fact, i only have one IM contact now.

moreover, the one on my IM list was shown offline. but i noticed one in Inventory indicating a friend online (she was). but her name did not appear anywhere else - neither IM nor the Mapping locator.

not a huge deal to me. just wanted to document it.

I noticed that the IM panel was not filling properly a few hours ago although the big-map Friends pulldown was.

It seems to be working now with no change on my client. I'd write this off as a transient DB overload unless it continues for you.
