ECO KIT SUMMARY:
An ECO kit exists for IO_ROUTINES on OpenVMS Alpha V6.1 through
V6.2-1H1. 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.
