ECO KIT SUMMARY:

An ECO kit exists for DIGITAL UNIX version 3.2C.  This kit addresses 
the following problems: 

  o  Added RGB as a valid type for the color expression in the color
     table.

  o  Incorrect behavior of XmTextField in overstrike mode: in Motif
     1.2.3, InsertChar replaces two characters in overstrike mode.

  o  Fixed a corrupted pointer in Motif text field widgets.

  o  Fixed the window resize problem using the mouse after selecting
     Japanese language in Session Manager Options pulldown menu and
     pressing NumLock key. 

  o  Fixed the memory leak in the Motif scrolled list widgets.

  o  Fixed a problem where the Motif Print Widget can leave
      processes until the parent application exits.

  o  A potential security vulnerability has been discovered,
     where dxsession writes to /tmp directory, which under
     certain circumstances, system integrity may be compromised.  

  o  Fixed problem of an ungraceful exit can be made through the
     window manager's 'Close' button, whose behavior is inconsistent
     with that of DECwindows Session Manager's (dxsession) 'End
     Session' button.

  o  Motif applications may abort when you use the drag-and-drop
     feature.   Motif toolkit function XmCreateDragIcon() gets a
     "BadMatch (invalid |parameter attributes)" error and then
     crashes because the code fails to set the correct image
     dimensions.   
 

  o  When using the Bookreader library, which is part of the                   
     DECwindows Motif toolkit, from within an application,                     
     bookreader changes the caller's effective UID to the real                 
     UID, but then never restores it to the original effective UID,            
     before returning control to the calling program.  If an                   
     application like dxchpwd is run from a non-root account, it               
     fails with a privilege violation.                                         


INSTALLATION NOTES:

Install this kit using the PATCH script found in the compressed      
tar file motdu_e08032c.tar.Z .  To unpack the kit, create an         
empty directory and extract the contents of motdu_e08032c.tar.Z      
into that directory.  For example,                                   

    # mkdir /tmp/motifpatch
    # cd /tmp/motifpatch
    # zcat motdu_e08032c.tar.Z|tar xpf

    NOTE:  If this ECO is received on tape media, it will already
           be in an uncompressed .tar, motdu_e08032c.tar, format.

Please see the Release Notes for a detailed explanation of Installation
Instructions.
