OpenVMS ALPSYS03_062 Alpha V6.1 - V6.2-1H1 IO_ROUTINES ECO Summary

NOTE: An OpenVMS saveset or PCSI installation file is stored on the Internet in a self-expanding compressed file. The name of the compressed file will be kit_name-dcx_vaxexe for OpenVMS VAX or kit_name-dcx_axpexe for OpenVMS Alpha. Once the file is copied to your system, it can be expanded by typing RUN compressed_file. The resultant file will be the OpenVMS saveset or PCSI installation file which can be used to install the ECO. Copyright (c) Digital Equipment Corporation 1994, 1996. All rights reserved.

This kit addresses the following problems: Problems Addressed in ALPSYS03_062 for OpenVMS Alpha V6.1, V6.1-1H1 and V6.1-1H2: o A DCL 'SHOW SECURITY/CLASS=DEVICE' command will generate an access violation (ACCVIO) and cause the system to crash. This problem is corrected in OpenVMS Alpha V6.2. Problems Addressed in ALPSYS03_062 for OpenVMS Alpha V6.2 and V6.2-1H1: o A privilege violation will occur when an unprivileged program attempts use the MSCP Express I/O modifier. Problems Addressed in ALPSYS03_062 for OpenVMS Alpha V6.1, V6.1-1H1, V6.1-1H2, V6.2 and V6.2-1H1: o Occasional crashes may occur in IOC$DISMOUNT with an INCONSTATE or SSRVEXCEPT bugcheck. This problem is corrected in OpenVMS Alpha V7.0. Problems Addressed in AXPSYS03_061: o A process will loop in kernel mode, holding the IO Database mutex. The problem can be reproduced by sending mail to yourself on a workstation after creating and deleting the message window. This problem is corrected in OpenVMS Alpha V6.2. INSTALLATION NOTES: In order for the corrections in this kit to take effect, the system must be rebooted. If the system is a member of a VMScluster, the entire cluster should be rebooted.
