Digging into the matter we discovered that there are a multitude of reports where the upgrade crashes due to a failure to calculate the upgrade and this leaves users in a state from which it is hard to recover. Additionally, there have been few crashes reported about this process which leads us to believe it is not used frequently. Original Description -------------------- Test Case: 1.
