I just received and installed that lastest SLS patch from SCO (xnx155).
I noticed that it installs a new adb patcher program as /etc/patch.
It is *NOT* the same 'patch' program widely used on the net to apply
patches to distributed sources. (Messed with my head for awhile while
trying to apply a patch until I figured out I was running the wrong
patch program :-)
Other than that, it appears to include a lot of other corrections
including consolidating other SLS patches into one big patch.
o Corrects boot problems of large kernels.
o Correct a problem with detecting Memory Parity errors
o Elmiminates descriptive:
"dfalloc: PANIC: frame not free at exit"
(The reason why we got the patch...:-)
o Many serial port corrections (MCA too).
o New cpio
o The patch program for adb patches to the system.
o Screen flicker problems on PS/2 P70 Plasma Screens
and much more...
The kernal updates to 2.3.3 although the utilties remain at their
original 2.3.2 level...
