Brief Description of Problem:
-----------------------------
I am debugging a client written in DECC which has exhibited a memory
corruption problem on OpenVMS 6.2 and 7.0. The application of patch
VAXACRT0x_070 or ALPACRT0x_070 (where x is 2 or greater) seems to fix
the problem on version 7.0 systems. The problem is described in the
patch letter as C runtime library functions reenabling ASTs at the end
of routines which disable ASTs on entry without checking to see if ASTs
were disabled on entry to the routine.
I have not found a corresponding patch for version 6.2. The problem
seems to occur on 6.2 but not on 6.2-1H1 or 6.2-1H3.
Is there a patch appropriate for OpenVMS 6.2? Anything else I should
look at?
All help appreciated.

At Pete's request, I've been working directly with BMC.
Here's the 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.

From: NEWMAN "Chuck Newman, 508/467-5499 (DTN 297), MRO1-3/F26" To: [email protected],[email protected] Subject: DEC C RTL routines mistakenly REENABLING AST delivery Greg/Warren -- The DEC C folks said that this fix was also included in ALPACRT06_062 and VAXACRT06_062. He went on to say that he doesn't know how this section in the release notes got omitted. Please try installing (ALP,VAX)ACRT0(6,7,8)_062 and see if it fixes your problem. -- Chuck Newman | |||||
