ECO KIT SUMMARY:

An ECO kit exists for SDA on OpenVMS Alpha V6.1 through V6.1-1H2.
This kit addresses the following problems:

  o  SDA does not handle relocatable global (non-universal) symbols
     correctly if they are in resident images.

Problems addressed in the ALPSDA01_061 kit:

  o  When the user tries to examine addresses in S1 space
     (for example, C0000000  and  above),  SDA  refuses.  An error message
     is generated such as "%SDA-E-REGNOTVLD, register reference invalid -
     use indirection (@Rn)".
