777 Air-con problems?

Has anybody heard anything about problems with the air supply in the 777? The other day I was chatting with the crew of a BA 777 as we were in the same hotel, and they were saying that although the opinion of crews to the 777 has been very positive on the whole, there have been a lot of complaints about nose bleeds and feinting among their crews related to the air supply. I know the BAe146 has had problems with gear box lube oil contaminating the cabin air supply with potentially serious consequences, but it's the first I've heard of it in relation to the 777. Anybody else heard anything about this?

There have been some reports about folks suffering from nausia and such, and Boeing is investigating. As far as I know, only has happened on the BA and UAL flights. In my opinion, I think the pilots just like flying them a little more aggressivly!
