  It has been known for a long time that the cross section for bottom-quark $b$
production at hadron collider energies exceeds theoretical expectations. An
additional contribution from pair-production of light gluinos $\tilde{g}$, of
mass 12 to 16 GeV, with two-body decays into bottom quarks and light bottom
squarks $\tilde{b}$, helps to obtain a $b$ production rate in better agreement
with data. The masses of the $\tilde{g}$ and $\tilde{b}$ are restricted further
by the ratio of like-sign to opposite-sign leptons at hadron colliders.
Constraints on this scenario from other data are examined, and predictions are
made for various processes such as Upsilon decay into $\tilde{b}'s$.
