Then thanks for heads up.  We were about to partition one of our 525s
into .5 cpu LPAR.  I will need to check on that code then.

Micro-Partitioning is when you use only tenths of a CPU. You can
partition 1 CPU machine, but then each partition only has 0.x CPUs. If
you have a large machine and can give each LPAR it's own CPUs, you
don't need micro partitioning.
