Re: KB951748 no longer offered after installing XP SP3

I had been holding off on installing KB951748 because of issues with the
version of Zone Alarm I am using. I just installed SP3 for Windows XP
Pro, and I now notice that KB951748 is no longer offered by Windows Update.

This is due to a fatal error of the Windows Update detection mechanism.
KB951748 (MS08-037) isn't offered to Windows XP SP3 systems *although*
Windows XP SP3 is still affected by the security hole which is aimed to
be closed by KB951748.

Looking at Windows Update Catalog for KB951748, you'll find the *false*
information in the Paket Details, that KB951748 has been superseded by
Windows XP SP3 which is obviously wrong:
http://catalog.update.microsoft.com/v7/site/ScopedViewInline.aspx?updateid=d5eadb3b-4fd7-4087-8b9d-4acb2b41210e
(open the link in Internet Explorer and have a look into the "Paket Details")

I can only force to download and install KB951748 (MS08-037) manually
via DownloadCenter as long as MS doesn't get the error fixed:
