ECO KIT SUMMARY:
An ECO kit exists for DEBUG on OpenVMS V6.2. This kit addresses the
following problems:
Problems addressed in VAXDEBU01_062 kit
o There are no new problem fixes in this kit. The kit is being
re-issued as a single version kit. If you have installed the
VAXDEBU01_071 remedial kit, you do not need to install the
VAXDEBU01_062 kit.
Problems addressed in VAXDEBU01_071 kit for OpenVMS V6.2
o VAX V6.2 debugger EXAMINE of a POINTER to some structure displays
the wrong structure.
Problems addressed in VAXDEBU05_070 kit for OpenVMS 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 VAXDEBU04_070 kit for OpenVMS V6.2
o Arrow is present, but occluded by breakpoint toggle buttons. It
appears that Motif is not properly resizing the source annotation
form when new child objects (toggles) are initiated, thus, instead
of positioning the new objects to the right of existing ones
(i.e. the arrow), they are falling on top of them.
Problems addressed in VAXDEBU01_070 kit for OpenVMS VAX 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.
