Problems Fixed in ALPLINK01_062 for OpenVMS Alpha V6.1, V6.1-1H1,
V6.1-1H2, V6.2, V6.2-1H1, V6.2-1H2, V6.2-1H3:
o When linking a large image, an access violation can occur if
an image section reaches 65536 512-byte blocks in size.
Problems Fixed in AXPLINK02_061 for OpenVMS Alpha V6.1:
o Linking an ADA application with the ADA Compilation System
("ACS") takes an unacceptably long time. The fix contained
in this kit will be of benefit only if the V3.2 DEC ADA Compiler
is installed on the system. However, this is not a problem with
the ADA Compiler.
Problems Fixed in AXPLINK01_061 for OpenVMS Alpha V6.1:
o Modifications have been made to the linker to prevent removal
of relocation or fixup information from the deferred list when
the linker is in "debug" context.
