PROBLEM: (EVT102702, QAR 61875/64784) (Patch ID: OSF440-017) ******** This patch fixes a problem with /usr/bin/ksh and the named-pipe (FIFO) communication that is used by applications. This problem is seen randomly when 2 shells scripts (a parent process and a child process) are waiting for each others read/write on their named-pipe. It was observed that the read didn't complete by the child process although data was present in its named-piped written by the parent process. PROBLEM: (CLD BCGM71LG7) (Patch ID: OSF440-026) ******** This patch corrects a problem that was causing ksh to core dump in vi editing mode. ksh was core dumping intermittently when using '.' to repeat a command. PROBLEM: (CLD MGO103997) (Patch ID: OSF440-027) ******** This patch fixes a problem with ksh. ksh will core dump with segmentation fault when displaying a here-document.

PROBLEM: (QAR 62880) (Patch ID: OSF440-028) ******** Without this patch, the file command erroneously reports 0 for the bit and Hz fields when you specify a WAV audio file as input. For example: > file TEST.WAV TEST.WAV: Microsoft RIFF - WAVE format 0 bit Mono 0 Hz This patch corrects the file command behavior, so that it outputs actual values in the bit and Hz fields. For example: > file TEST.WAV TEST.WAV: Microsoft RIFF - WAVE format 8 bit Mono 11025 Hz PROBLEM: (QAR 62684) (Patch ID: OSF440-028) ******** The patch corrects erroneous behavior when the tail command is used with both the -n and -r flags. If you do not install this patch and you invoke the tail command with both the -n and -r flags, the command ignores the -n flag, which specifies the starting line at which the file contents are displayed, and displays the entire file in reverse order. This patch corrects tail command behavior so that the -n and -r flags can be used together. PROBLEM: (QAR 62684) (Patch ID: OSF440-028) ******** This fixes a problem in the awk command.

PROBLEM: (QAR 65964 QAR 70023) (Patch ID: OSF440-096) ******** This patch fixes a problem with the Korn shell where data loss occurs when commnds are piped together.
