PROBLEMS ADDRESSED IN DNVOSIA_E020731
Corrections made to SYS$LIBRARY:CDI$SHR.EXE:
- Preserve modified checkpoint interval.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Corrections made to SYS$SYSTEM:DNS$ADVER.EXE:
- Fix memory leak that occurred when ncl disable CSMA-STATION
station is issued.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Corrections made to SYS$SYSTEM:DTSS$SERVICE.EXE:
- Prevent PGFIPLHI crash.
- Next TDF change not displayed if in new year.
- Prevent negative count for "Invalid Messages Detected."
- Prevent hang on "show dtss all" command.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Corrections made to SYS$LOADABLE_IMAGES:NET$ALIAS.EXE:
- Make exclusive mode lock conversion synchronous in Alias$SendVB
to prevent hang while shutting alias.
- Make exclusive mode lock conversion synchronous in
Alias$Update_App to prevent possible hang while enabling
(or re-enabling) alias port.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Corrections made to SYS$MANAGER:NET$CONFIGURE.COM:
- Prevent hang after creating new DECdns namespace.
- Add DECdns server license check (DVNETEXT is now required for
Alpha DNS servers, DVNETRTG is still required for VAX DNS servers).
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Corrections made to SYS$SYSTEM:NET$MOP:
- Modify threads signal calls to prevent MOP process hang.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Corrections made to SYS$LOADABLE_IMAGES:NET$SESSION_CONTROL.EXE:
- Prevent possible double deallocation of a disconnect VCRP by
dereferencing a pointer in the session port block immediately
after the disconnect VCRP is completed.
- Prevent ridiculously large $IPC memory allocation requests
which can in some cases lead to "Insufficient nonpaged pool"
crashes.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Corrections made to SYS$SYSTEM:NET$DEBUG.EXE:
- Prevent lib$tparse syntax errors.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Corrections made to SYS$LOADABLE_IMAGES:NET$TPCONS.EXE:
- Remove a forced bugcheck on a change of address when the VCIB
structure was removed in system shutdown.
- Remove a forced bugcheck on a deferred transmit.
- Prevent INVEXCEPTN crash on connect init VCRP allocation failure
- Remove forced bugcheck on connection rundown.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Corrections made to SYS$LOADABLE_IMAGES:NET$TRANSPORT_NSP.EXE:
- Reformat transmit VCRPs to prevent buffer possible buffer
overflow which might in a very unusual case result in
non-paged pool corruption.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Corrections made to SYS$LOADABLE_IMAGES:NET$TRANSPORT_OSI.EXE:
- Reformat transmit VCRPs to prevent possible buffer
overflow which might in a very unusual case result in
non-paged pool corruption.
- Prevent INVEXCEPTN crash that can occur on data transmit.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Corrections made to SYS$COMMON:[SYS$LDR]DNS$SERVER.EXE
- The DECdns server code used to erroneously check for DVNETRTG
license on Alpha DECdns servers. As of this ECO, Alpha DECdns
servers will check for the DVNETEXT license. (VAX DECdns servers
continue to require the DVNETRTG license.)
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Updates made to SYS$LIBRARY:NCL$GLOBALSECTION.DAT
- Alias entity updated for new SHUT ALIAS PORT functionality (EN440).
- DSA, MTA and MTS entities updated for X.500 and X.400 (EN441 and EN442).

ECO KIT ORDERING INSTRUCTIONS:
If after an evaluation you wish to obtain this kit, request it
electronically using the appropriate Advanced Electronic Services
(AES) Service Tool. If you are not familiar with how to request
kits electronically, open the DIA, WIS or DSNLINK database and
review the article entitled:
[AES] How To Electronically Request ECO Kits Using Service Tools
INSTALLATION NOTES:
Install this kit with the POLYCENTER Software Installation
utility (PCSI) by logging into the SYSTEM account, and
entering the following command at the DCL prompt:
$ PRODUCT INSTALL DNVOSIECO02/SOURCE=[location of the .PCSI file]
Note that you can use the DECwindows Motif interface to PCSI
if you wish.
For the corrections to take effect, you must reboot the system.
If you are a member of a VMScluster, you must reboot the entire
cluster. You can postpone rebooting if it is not convenient
for you to do so now; however, the new driver(s) will not take
effect until after a reboot.
