Well, the elusive Ultrix 3.1C Patch Tape finally showed up in the mail today,
courtesy of DEC software distribution and Federal Express.
The package was labeled as a "Mandatory Patch", so presumably anyone who was
shipped 3.1C will receive it in due course.
It apparently fixes an assortment of problems including: DMB crash, qutoacheck,
csh "source" memory eater, getting "core" files, mt, ln driver, panic: tblmis,
NFS locking and 13 LAT items.
Also included was a copy of the UWS 2.0 "Unsupported" tape with a note that
this is the source of the Ultrix Unsupported software.
I'll have to give this stuff a try tonight...

Warning: if you have the special /usr/lib/lpd that is part of the lps20 print server client support, the patch installation silently over-writes the special daemon with a corrected version of the standard 3.1C printer daemon. This makes your lps20 kind of stop working. (I assume the same for the lps40). -- George Robbins - now working for, uucp: {uunet|pyramid|rutgers}!cbmvax!grr but no way officially representing: domain: grr@cbmvax.commodore.com Commodore, Engineering Department phone: 215-431-9349 (only by moonlite)

The patch tape overwrites the 3.1C /bin/csh with a different csh that doesn't contain the command completion (like tenex-csh) stuff. Assuming you started with 3.1C this leaves you with no command-completion shell and your users will likely come visit. So, before installing the patch tape, you might want to copy /bin/csh over to /usr/new/csh and improve whatever "tcsh" or other links you had in for compatibility to point there. I don't know if the "new" shell is the standard csh with the all the bugs fixed or what. The 3.1C csh had some minor bugs where sourcing a file (including .login/.cshrc) that had errors would cause it to eat as much virtual memory as it could get. This caused near-system hangs while the shell was gorging, but once the offending stuff was fixed wasn't a problem. 1c1 < bin/csh_3.1C --- > /bin/csh_3.1C_patch 7,12d6 < tenex.c 1.1 (ULTRIX) 2/20/89 < sh.editglue.c 1.1 (ULTRIX) 2/20/89 < sh.edit.c 1.1 (ULTRIX) 2/20/89 < tgoto.c 4.1 (Berkeley) 6/27/83 < tputs.c 4.1 (Berkeley) 6/27/83 < termcap.c 1.1 ULTRIX 2/24/89 25d18 < alarm.c 1.1 (ULTRIX) 2/21/89 BTW: the order/reference number for the patch package is AV-PBPAA-TE -- George Robbins - now working for, uucp: {uunet|pyramid|rutgers}!cbmvax!grr but no way officially representing: domain: grr@cbmvax.commodore.com Commodore, Engineering Department phone: 215-431-9349 (only by moonlite)
