HP Services Software Patches - alpdebu03_062
 
NOTE:  An OpenVMS saveset or PCSI installation file is stored
       on the Internet in a self-expanding compressed file.
       The name of the compressed file will be kit_name-dcx_vaxexe
       for OpenVMS VAX or kit_name-dcx_axpexe for OpenVMS Alpha.
 
       Once the file is copied to your system, it can be expanded
       by typing RUN compressed_file.  The resultant file will
       be the OpenVMS saveset or PCSI installation file which
       can be used to install the ECO.

                 ALPY2K01_062


ECO KIT SUMMARY:

An ECO kit exists for DEBUG on OpenVMS Alpha V6.2.  This kit
addresses the following problems: 

Problems Addressed in the ALPDEBU03_062 Kit:

  o  The ALPDEBU02_062 kit requires that the ALPY2K01_062 remedial 
     kit be installed first.  The KITINSTAL.COM procedure was not
     checking for this.


Problems Addressed in the ALPDEBU02_062 Kit:

  o  The ALPDEBU01_062 remedial kit stated that there was a
     dependency on ALPLIBR07_062.  This was incorrect.  The
     dependency is on remedial kit ALPY2K01_062.  There are no new
     problem fixes in this kit.  If you have installed the
     ALPDEBU01_062 remedial kit, you do not need to install this
     kit.


Problems Addressed in the ALPDEBU01_062 Kit:

  o  DEBUG links LIBRTL.OLB into its DEBUG.EXE image.  The
     LIB$CALLING_STANDARD routines included can ACCVIO when trying
     to walk the call chain or write to a call's invocation context
     block on a corrupt stack.  These ACCVIOs have now been observed
     from DEBUG CALL commands from certain register frames.

     In order to receive this full fix the ALPY2K01_062 kit must also 
     be installed.


Problems Addressed in the ALPDEBU01_071 Kit for OpenVMS Alpha V6.2*:

  o  Build the debugger against Motif V1.2-3 and provide workarounds
     in the debugger for bugs which are currently fixed in Motif V1.2-4.


Problems Addressed in the ALPDEBU06_070 Kit for OpenVMS Alpha V6.2*:

  o  A HELP file was not included in the ALPDEBU05_070 ECO kit.


Problems Addressed in the ALPDEBU05_070 Kit for OpenVMS Alpha V6.2*:

  o  Using the kept debugger and the gui, opening the source browser
     at any point and then executing the RERUN command causes an ACCVIO.


Problems Addressed in the ALPDEBU02_070 Kit for OpenVMS Alpha V6.2*:

  o  On startup, DEBUG occasionally fails with an ACCVIO on some Alpha
     programs. 


Problems Addressed in the ALPDEBU01_070 Kit for OpenVMS Alpha V6.2*

  o  RFA, Record File Address, tables were sometimes not being
     properly updated.  The conditional that helped determine when
     to update was depending on a variable that it assumed was static, 
     but was, instead, changing dynamically.


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).
