So, the problem is rare to begin with and was fixed for the 2010 KoP. No changes are currently planned for the protection on that port for 2011.
Thanks for the explanation, Eric. I was unaware there were any functional differences between the 2009 and 2010 PD boards. Since they look identical and carry the same part number (having just checked the 2009 and 2010 KOP checklists), how can I tell which one is which?
