Any news on the Sudden Death bug in the PPC version of DB2?

I am still able to make progress in the game, thanks to frequent
saves. I don't have a save position where I can repeat this, but I
rencently fought a battle against a hydra, a couple of death knights,
and a couple of corrupt mages. Caleb, Unger, Heric, and Mordor all
fell in turn to sudden death, leaving lonely old Poe and The Iqtar to
finish the battle.

Curious,
Dale
