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.
