                               are experiencing the problems described.

     NOTE:  In order to receive the full fixes listed in this kit,
            the following remedial kits also need to be installed:

                 None


ECO KIT SUMMARY:

An ECO kit exists for DEBUG on OpenVMS V7.0.  This kit addresses the 
following problems:                                             


Problems addressed in VAXDEBU07_070 kit

  o  There are no new problem fixes in this kit.  The kit  is  being
     re-issued  as  a single version kit.  If you have installed the
     VAXDEBU01_071 remedial kit, you do  not  need  to  install  the
     VAXDEBU07_070 kit.


Problems addressed in VAXDEBU01_071 kit for OpenVMS VAX V7.0

  o  Some VAX steps in PASCAL programs fail and cause severe errors,
     for example, %SYSTEM-F-RADRMOD.

     If there is a step range that includes a HALT instruction, then
     the  TBIT  trap gets raised.  That is, do not optimize stepping
     performance for such ranges.  Unfortunately,  there  are  other
     problems  with this optimize algorithm that were fixed in later
     releases.  So to properly fix the essence of the problem,  this
     new  optimization,  for  this  stream,  it must also be able to
     recognize entry masks, and to adjust the low end,  as  well  as
     the high end, of the stepping range.


Problems addressed in VAXDEBU06_070 kit

  o  Missing files.  The patch would not correct all the problems
     mentioned in the release notes.


Problems addressed in VAXDEBU02_070 kit

  o  Debug main to kernel $WAKE uses the initial kernel thread  PID.
     This  will not work if the some other kernel thread invoked the
     debug kernel.  That is, the debug kernel will  operate  in  the
     other  kernel  thread context including its $HIBERs.  The $WAKE
     from main needs to use the other kernel thread PID.


Problems addressed in VAXDEBU01_070 kit

  o  Japanese users report that  the  Debug  GUI  does  not  support
     Kana-Kanji conversions.

  o  Source view line numbers are not visible on systems running CDE
     and Motif V1.2.4.

  o  It is difficult to debug problems in  the  HA  (Heap  Analyzer)
     kernel, especially problems during startup.

  o  HA main was failing to display  error  messages  to  SYS$OUTPUT
     when appropriate.  In particular, when DECW$DISPLAY was not set
     properly, HA main failed to inform the user of its inability to
     run.

  o  UIL files contained names greater than 31 characters long which
     cause UIL compilation failures on V7.0.

  o  Applications linked with PTHREAD$RTL go into an  infinite  loop
     when  run  with  the Heap Analyzer (HA) and with kernel threads
     enabled.

  o  Narrow the window between when DEBUG gains control and the call
     to the threads facility to stop task scheduling.


INSTALLATION NOTES:

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 order to
make use of the new image(s).
