ECO KIT SUMMARY:

An ECO kit exists for DEC OSF/1 Version 3.2. This kit is cumulative and 
addresses the following problems: 


    Patch ID:  OSF320-068

    Fixes a "kernel memory fault" panic in the routine get_thread_high().
    The bug could also show up as a hung runnable thread.

    This occurs only on multiprocessor platforms.


    Patch ID: OSF320-103  (Update Patch ID: OSF320-053)

     - Fixes a corruption problem caused by UFS mishandling data that has 
       been written to a DEC OSF/1 exported file system in conjunction with 
       an NFS extend operation.  The problem occurs on a PC running MSWORD 
       Version 6.0 that has mounted a DEC OSF/1 file system using PC-NFS 
       software Version 5.0


    Patch ID: OSF320-106

     - Fixes some timing issues with updates to the NIS distributed protected
       password database when running C2 security and NIS together.  This 
       caused passwords not being set, login failures not being counted, and 
       login terminal information to not be updated.

     - Fixes C2 security library routines that did not handle the existence
       of an invalid template name in a protected password database entry
       gracefully.  This could cause XSysAdmin and XIsso to hang.
