Firmware Version 1.1.0 incorporates the following fixes.

1. Corrects a phenomenon that in images captured by continuous shooting, and under certain conditions, barely noticeable traces of the immediately preceding frame may be visible.

Firmware Version 1.1.0 is for cameras with firmware up to version 1.0.9. If the camera’s firmware is already version 1.1.0, it is not necessary to update the firmware.

Canon EOS 1D Mark IV

In Chinese, the number 4 rhymes with “death” and therefore considered unlucky and generally avoided. That is why you might have a hard time selling your house with one or more “4″s in the street number to a traditional Chinese family. But this superstition has, as far as I am aware of, not extended to electronic products. Canon has no problem with naming its product with the digit “4″ in it, as in “Digic 4″ and now the “EOS 1D Mark IV [Specs].” In fact, Tsunemasa Ohara, senior general manager, Photo Products Group at Canon Inc. states categorically in a BJP interview, “We don’t think 4 is unlucky.”

No, but perhaps “7″ (considered a “good” number by some cultures) is, as in the “Ghosting phenomenon” in the EOS 7D [Specs]?
