That bug was discussed on the list recently. Search for the thread "SXH3 
ghost bugs".

It's present in SXH15 & SXH3, but fixed in SXH3a (however SXH3a still 
has all the *other* bugs that SXH3 has, including the SCP-crasher)

SXF15a wasn't out last time I looked, so I don't know, but I assume 
SXF15a cures the BGP bug.

Consensus seems to be that unless you specifically need some of the 
12.2(33) features, you're best on SXF

We've just recently *down*graded from SXH2a on one box; the progress of 
that train has been inadequate for our stability needs.

We've actually been very stable on SXF10 for a while now (over 1 year on 
our busiest box).
