OPENVMS ALPSYS03_070 Alpha V7.1 EXCEPTION.EXE ECO Summary

 
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.

ECO KIT SUMMARY:

An ECO kit exists for EXCEPTION.EXE and EXCEPTION_MON.EXE on 
OpenVMS Alpha V7.0.  This kit addresses the following problems: 

  o  If a full dump is being written to a non-contiguous dumpfile 
     and the break between extents occurs mid-page, then the first 
     I/O after the break starts from the beginning of the page instead
     of in the middle.   The  resulting dump can be anywhere from
     perfectly useful to absolutely disastrous.


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 VMScluster, the 
entire cluster should be rebooted.
