FIXES: 
- Fixes issue where there was no network time protocol (NTP) poll after the 
reboot of a GbE interconnect switch.

- Fixes issue where after telneting to a GbE interconnect switch, switching to 
the command line interface (CLI) mode, and typing ''cfg show,'' if q, Esc, or 
CTRL-C was pressed while waiting for the configuration to display, the telnet 
session would stop responding for several minutes. 

- Fixes issue where one of the following error messages was generated when 
running the ''cfg show'' command on four simultaneous telnet sessions:
''OS_ADPT_Allocate_System_Memory: fail''
''TFTP allocate system memory fail'' 

- Fixes issue that occurred when two VLANs were created and changes made to the 
PVID of port X in one VLAN erroneously changed the PVID of port Y in the same 
VLAN.

- Fixes issue that occurred with firmware version 2.1.2.0 where the user could 
not disable cross-connect ports between switch A and switch B. These 
cross-connect ports are enumerated as ports 21 and 22 on both switches.
