Dear SCO Customer, Support Level Supplement (SLS) ptf7633d, the UnixWare 7.1.1 libnsl and timod Driver Supplement, contains modifications to address networking-related errors in the t_sync library call, as well as in some RPC routines and in NIS name resolution. SLS ptf7633b addressed the following issues: 1. t_listen fails with t_error TBADQLEN. In a TLI/XTI application using t_sync, the qlen value for the specified transport endpoint can be incorrectly set to zero locally within the transport library. The negotiated qlen field of a transport endpoint is now correctly updated when t_sync is called. 2. Some RPC routines, upon encountering an error condition, fail to clean up partially-built connections. In the case of TCP/IP, this can result in unused endpoints remaining in the CLOSE_WAIT state. A T_DISCON_REQ is now sent down the stream to ensure orderly cleanup. 3. NIS name resolution can cause memory corruption for some applications, often resulting in random core dumps generated by a SIGSEGV. A memory allocation for an internal structure was increased to the correct size. SLS ptf7633c addressed the following issue: 4. Informix 7.3 application (esql/c binary) runs successfully on UnixWare 7.1.0, but causes a disconnect on UnixWare 7.1.1. SLS ptf7633d addresses the following issue: 5. With NIS enabled the JDK 1.2.2 rmiregistry command core dumps with a SIGSEGV.
