I am aware that some other B767 operators have problems with their FMC dumping data when the crew try to enter the SLOP at the start of the Oceanic leg, including the alternate FPLN. The manufacturer's advice was to leave 5 minutes between starting the leg and entering the offset, but that doesn't work either. The pilot I spoke to said crews were using heading hold while they manually entered the remainder of their route into the system. Painful, but less so than a MAYDAY and diversion?
There was a lot more going on with that airplane than stated here.
