Hmm.. My experience with Bungie has been very good.  I suspect that if
there is no info on their webpage about it, then they may not be aware
that some people are haveing that problem.  I suggest contacting them.

How many other companies have issued recalls on their CD's cause of a
bug?  (Granted, this one was pretty severe in my opinion, but still...)

I haven't really ever had a problem with any of ther games, from Marathon2
(on a Mac) through Myth1 (haven't gotten Myth2 yet, but will probably pick
up the "total codex" as its so stinkin' cheap).
