2177.0. "DEC C RTL routines mistakenly REENABLING AST delivery" by HYDRA::NEWMAN (Chuck Newman, 508/467-5499 (DTN 297), MRO1-3/F26) Mon May 05 1997 17:04

Here's an extract from ALPACRT05_070.RELEASE_NOTES

      o  Many DEC C Runtime Library routines (fwrite in particular)  are
         mistakenly  REENABLING  AST  delivery  in the case where it was
         disabled on entry to the routine.

A software developer I'm working with says that they have this problem on 6.2
but not on 6.2-1H1 or 6.2-1H3.  Application of this patch (and its VAX
counterpart) took care of this problem on their V7.0 systems.  Any chance of
getting a similar patch for V6.2?

    This fix was included in ALPACRT06_062 and VAXACRT06_062.  I simply
    cannot explain how the release note was omitted.
