ECO KIT SUMMARY:

An ECO kit exists for FYDRIVER on OpenVMS Alpha V6.2, V6.2-1H1,

  o  ALPHA systems  that  use  multiple  accesses  to  HSC/HSJ  disk
     controllers (such as using Polycenter System Census Agent) will
     see crashes intermittently.  The crashes showed  RSPID  (sysgen
     parameter SYSRESPCNT) to be exhausted.  Previous workaround was
     to increase  sysgen  parameter  and  customer  would  not  have
     anymore crashes.
