    Brief Description of Problem:
    -----------------------------
This partner has a customer that is attempting to run Vector's app under DU
4.0.  The app was developed under 3.2.  They suspect it has something to do
with the fact that CDE is the default for 4.0.

3183.1Routine no longer in 4.0HYDRA::BRYANTThu Feb 13 1997 09:4212
Digital_UNIX note 8813 response to my question:
 
  Are they calling it directly? It's not a supported or documented
    routine. All kernels V3 and later are "realtime." That is, they
    support the behaviors that V1 and V2 realtime_kernel call was
    supposed to detect at runtime. The routine stayed in 3.2 but
    always returned TRUE. In V4.0, it was "optimized" away. Its only
    supported caller was the sysconf routine in libc. Shoulda made
    it static I guess.
 
Partner is going to try to create dummy realtime_kernel() function and try
relinking.

It's been two weeks so I think it's safe to assume they do not require our
assistance here.
