This patch fixes a memory leak problem from psdc v302
(also known as v3.0-7 or v3.0b).  


There are two patch files:

  psdc_v307a-v32b - for Digital OSF/1 v3.2b and lower.
  psdc_v307a-v32c - for Digital UNIX v3.2c and higher but lower
		    than v4.0.

  You should install only one of them on your system depending
  on your operating system version.


To install the patch, follow these steps:

1. Stop psdc:

   # advise -c -stop

2. Save the old file just in case something wrong with the patch:

   # cd /usr/opt/PSDC302/dc/bin
   # cp psdc psdc.old

3. Copy the patch to current directory.  Assume the patch file
   is in /tmp directory.
   
   # cp /tmp/psdc_v307a_v32c .       (for UNIX v3.2c and higher)
   # cp /tmp/psdc/v307a_v32b .       (for OSF/1 v3.2b and lower)

4. Make sure the ownership and permission are correct:

   # ls -l psdc
   -rwxr-xr-x   1 root     system ...

5. Restart psdc:

   # advise -c -start
