Apparently the 3 CPUs of the 6230 provided just the right sequence of events for this to show up. The following PATCH is (strongly) recommended for any SMP or ASMP VAXes currently running FUSION 3.3 $ set default fns_base:[bin] $ link/map/full/noexe fustart.stb ! Ignore warning message $ edit fustart.map search for 'os_fwq_rem' and write down hex location (Assume for this *example* the location is C12345) $ patch fustart.exe $ define os_fwq_rem=C12345 ! Remember C12345 is ONLY AN EXAMPLE $ deposit/instruction os_fwq_rem+29 'bicl2 #7,R0' 'rsb' exit update ------ ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Jeffrey D.
