ECO KIT SUMMARY:
An ECO kit exists for REGISTRY on OpenVMS Alpha V7.3. This kit addresses the
following problems:
PROBLEMS ADDRESSED IN VMS73_REGISTRY-V0100 KIT
o The system can crash with various types of bugchecks if
$Registry attempts to receive more data from the Registry
server than is allowed by the process' BYTLM quota.
Images Affected:[SYS$LDR]SYS$NTA.EXE
o Issuing the command:
$ mc reg$cp export database
on a new database causes value names to be written
incorrectly.
Images Affected:[SYSEXE]REG$CP.EXE
o Processes can hang if a connection breaks and there are timed
out requests in the Registry request queue.
Images Affected:[SYSEXE]SYS$NTA.EXE
o When the server is trying to shut down, it will ACCVIO in
various places, but usually in a pthread_cleanup_pop() call
after signaling the datalogcleaner thread. Usually the final
exit status will be 0x10408014. The problem is due to queue
corruption because the mutex locking to protect the queue was
in the wrong place. It was protecting other operations, but
not the queue itself. This fix moves the code which locks the
mutex so that it protects the queue.
Images Affected:[SYSEXE]REGISTRY$SERVER.EXE
