I hope you mean that DECevent prior to V2.3 with the V4.0 FRU table entry 
will hang or prossibly crash the DECevent user process, not the operating 
system!

I was told that the operating system has been seen to hang/crash when
earlier versions of DECevent encountered a V4.0 FRU table entry in a
system error log. I haven't personally confirmed this, however.

    Paul, you were correct re: no crash of the operating system..

Hi Bill,

   Yes I can respond to this from experience. The "crash" is in fact only
the DECevent process. Not the operating system. Did it many times myself.

I hope you mean that DECevent prior to V2.3 with the V4.0 FRU table entry 
will hang or prossibly crash the DECevent user process, not the operating 
system!
