James, I believe the correct patch is 02/10 in this series, so I think you should be able to drop this patch and we'll be back on track. If you'd like me to resend the series without this patch please let me know. I'll check to make sure 02/10 through 10/10 apply without 01/10 and resend if I have to make changes.
