ECO KIT SUMMARY:
An ECO kit exists for OpenVMS Alpha V6.1 through V7.0. This kit
addresses the following problems:
Problems Addressed in the ALPDWXT01_070 Kit:
o EV4 and later CPU modules in a multiple CPU environment, will cause
VXT2000 window users (using the LAT transport protocol) to lose all
DECterm's, clocks, calendars, Bookreader, etc. Only Session Manager
remains.
Problems Addressed in the AXPDWXT01_061 Kit for OpenVMS Alpha V6.1,
V6.1-1H1:
o When a LAT connection is lost because of a network interruption,
XTDRIVER posts the same IRP twice to I/O postprocessing, corrupting
the I/O postprocessing queue and possibly resulting in a SSRVEXCEPTN
crash.
