Yep, known for a few days, and discussed within the context of the mission thread here: STS 117
This subject was also discussed in the STS-117 thread.
It doesn't appear to be a big issue, even if they wouldn't do anything about it.
Oh Im sorry, I did not know. Then I guess this thread should be deleted.
