ECO KIT SUMMARY:

An ECO kit exists for PTHREAD$RTL.EXE on OpenVMS VAX V7.1.  This kit 
addresses the following problem:

Problems Addressed in VAXPTHR01_071 

  o  For an upgrade to OpenVMS V7.1, when a legacy application  (eg.
     BASESTAR)  is  changed (eg.  BASESTAR V3.1 to V3.4A), an ACCVIO
     occurs  inside  the  application.   The  address  in  violation
     indicates  a  thread  in the application process has overflowed
     its stack.
 

Problems Addressed in VAXCMAR01_071

  o  The DCPS V1.3 print symbiont dies after printing a few jobs.
     It seems to run out of virtual address space (pagefile quota).

The system does not need to be rebooted after this kit is installed.
However, if you have other nodes in your OpenVMS VMScluster, they
should be rebooted or you should install this kit on each system in
