up to 3 months delay
sorry but ROFL. Most 'Enterprise' companies have some much red tape and bs to overcome there's no way they can test and accept a patch set in 90 days. (especially while further 90 day counters start ticking in the meantime)

My absolute favourite was an outside-of-work call. A relative of mine was working at a local primary school and had mentioned that I was IT savvy when a panicked secretary discovered a 'virus' on her machine.
Every time she typed the word 'the' it was replaced with 'we wish you a merry Christmas and a happy new year!'
Perplexed and for once interested in a 'can you look at my computer' issue I drove in. Once I had observed the word 'the' actually changing upon completion the cause was obvious. Someone had configured MSWord to autocorrect 'the'. A headmaster that had been in meetings all morning and had no idea that I had been called sheepishly apologised for the modification. However, for me, the very best part, for which the secretary deserves a prize, was the fact that she had typed an impeccably written 2 sides of A4 letter to the local church thanking them for the use of their hall for their school play, which read perfectly naturally, entirely avoiding the use of 'the'.
