Blown Engine

I have a 98 Boxster with only 17,000 miles and the engine blew up! I was cruising safely at a low speed and apparently one of the cylinder walls collapsed which resulted in a ruined engine. I understand that this was a known problem for the 97 and 98 Boxsters. Has anyone heard anything about this? Porsche is sending a new engine to the dealer for installation because they say that it can't be repaired. However, I'm being sent a rather large invoice and I'm not too pleased. If anyone knows of any service buletins issued by Porsche addressing this defect I sure would appreciate hearing about it.
