Dear SCO Customer,

Support Level Supplement (SLS) ptf7657a, the UnixWare 7.1.0 and 7.1.1
hostmibd supplement, addresses the following problem:

        Disk and swap space usage figures reported by snmp (e.g.
        by the command "getmany localhost public hrStorage") may
        be negative or otherwise incorrect.  Computation is now
        performed in such a way as to avoid overflow if possible,
        and the resulting value is capped at 2147483647 (INT_MAX)
        if it would exceed that limit.
