Friday post-update grid glitches

A fix that went in in yesterday's Second Life code-update apparently impacts scripts that use long object names and long object description fields. We're not sure what the bug fixed actually is, however. While Linden Lab indicates issue SVC-997 in the public JIRA, that bug apparently has been locked away from viewing by the public.

That suggests that it was either exploit related, or they're not aware that users can't see the details – or both. We wonder though, if it was going to cause problems, why not tell people before things broke? Unfortunately there's no actual information as to what was included in this update.

Additionally Linden Lab reports that they think one of the databases that deals with land information is running slow, and that land-sales, land-search and land-ownership information may not be current.
