KERN_MOD_40F Tru64 UNIX V4.0F Memory Leak ECO Summary
TITLE: KERN_MOD_40F Tru64 UNIX V4.0F Memory Leak ECO Summary
 
Copyright (c) COMPAQ Computer Corporation 2000.  All rights reserved.

PRODUCT:    Tru64 UNIX [R] 4.0F
SOURCE:     COMPAQ Computer Corporation

ECO INFORMATION:

     ECO Name:  KERN_MOD_40F
     ECO Kit Approximate Size:  819200 bytes 
     Kit Applies To: Tru64 UNIX V4.0F on Alpha with BL13 patch kit


ECO KIT SUMMARY:

  A defect inadvertently introduced into the Tru64 UNIX 4.0F BL13
  patch kit causes the loss of 256 bytes of memory every time a 
  process exits on any Tru64 UNIX system if the appropriate patch 
  kit is installed and Accounting is turned on.


CONFIGURATIONS AFFECTED:

  This problem will be seen on any Tru64 UNIX system with
  Accounting turned on, that is running the 4.0F operating 
  system with the specified patch kit:

   Version 4.0F BL13 Patch Kits:
    4.0F - DUV40FAS0002-19991116 "Patch Kit 2"
  

INSTALLATION NOTES:

  This is a gzip'd file, and so to install it, one must copy it to the
  desired system (which MUST be running appropiate with the entire bl13 patch
  kit for the 4.0f release), ungzip it, then rebuild the kernel.

  For example:

  cd /sys/BINARY
  mv std_kern.mod std_kern.mod_orig
  cp /patches/std_kern.mod_40f_bl13.gz std_kern.mod.gz
  gzip -d std_kern.mod.gz
  cd /sys/conf
  doconfig -c HOSTNAME
  mv /vmunix /vmunix.save
  mv /sys/HOSTNAME/vmunix /
