It seems this was just me being paranoid, and my users being wrong. Since
posting this, I've found out how to use lmstat a little better, and can
identify that at least when I've been tesing it, it's been giving out both
licenses as required. Naturally, since this discovery, none of my users have
complained about the lack of licenses either. Oh well.

We contacted Sun, and they informed us that there were no known bugs in this
area, and unless we could give them a definite, repeatable problem, they
couldn't help.

Anyway, thanks to the following for advice:
