The following is an example of the error message generated if you should experience the problem: $ find . -name abc find: Cannot open file ./path/filename/ : Too many open files find: cannot open < ./aa5142 > find: cannot open < ./aa5143 > find: cannot open < ./aa5144 > find: cannot open < ./aa5145 > In addition to the original find ERP delivered in Nov 2003, a symlink problem has also been corrected. We are sorry for any inconvenience this may have caused. The Patch Kit Installation Instructions and the Patch Summary and Release Notes documents provide patch kit installation and removal instructions and a summary of each patch. Please read these documents prior to installing patches on your system. The patches in this ERP kit will also be available in the next mainstream patch kit - HP Tru64 UNIX 5.1B Patch Kit 4. INSTALLATION NOTES: 1) Install this kit with the dupatch utility that is included in the patch kit. You may need to baseline your system if you have manually changed system files on your system. The dupatch utility provides the baselining capability. 2) The patch in this ERP kit does not have a file intersection with a previously released 'find' ERP but is designed to install seemlessly over the prior patch kit. See Supercedes section below. 3) This ERP kit will NOT install over any Customer Specific Patches (CSPs) which have file intersections with this ERP kit. Contact your normal Service Provider for assistance if the installation of this ERP kit is blocked by any of your installed CSPs. INSTALLATION PREREQUISITES: You must have installed HP Tru64 UNIX 5.1B PK (BL24) prior to installing this Early Release Patch Kit. SUPERSEDED PATCH LIST: This patch kit supersedes the following Tru64 UNIX patch kit: 1) HP Tru64 UNIX - 5.1B PK3 `find` command not traversing very large directory 5.1B 362.02 in: T64KIT0020545-V51BB24-E-20031104.tar The patch in this ERP kit is built so it will install over the patch the 5.1B 362.02 patch. However, installation will be blocked if any other patches have been installed that affect the file(s) delivered in in this ERP kit. KNOWN PROBLEMS WITH THE PATCH KIT: None.
