ECO KIT SUMMARY:

An ECO kit exists for SYSLICENSE.EXE on OpenVMS VAX V6.1.  This kit 
addresses the following problems: 

Problems Addressed in the VAXSYS15_061 Kit:

  o  If the buffer overflows during a license check, the user will
     not be able to make further use of the particular product that
     is doing the license check until the process that got the
     buffer overflow error is stopped.  If that product is
     OpenVMS, any process attempting to login will hang.


Problems Addressed in the VAXSYS11_061 Kit:

  o  System crashes with a SSRVEXCEPT bugcheck at EXE$GRANT_LICENSE+004BB.


Problems Addressed in the VAXSYS08_061 Kit:

  o  In non-paged pool, $GETLKI will allocate buffers 16 bytes
     larger than the buffer size it was passed.  If too many
     users try to use a layered product, this allocation will 
     cause the system to crash with a bugcheck in an attempt to 
     allocate 0 bytes of non-paged pool.


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 VAXcluster, the 
entire cluster should be rebooted.
