Symptoms:
	PHCO_18070:
	Libc iconv(sjis->euc) function returns an error in
	converting Japanese Hankaku-Katakana characters.
	Therefore, the iconv(1) command also fails with the
	error message - "iconv: bad input character".
	JAGaa12504, DSDe444151;SR 1653272971

	Unexpected failure in converting data from JIS to SJIS
	or JIS to eucJP, while using iconv(1) or iconv(3C).
	JAGaa12695 JAGaa12696

	The iconv(3C) function can cause SIGSEGV.
	JAGaa94168; SR 1653296129

	PHCO_15384:
	iconv() fails in ucs2->eucJP conversion if the target
	character is more than 3-bytes.
	DTS #: JAGaa08137

	PHCO_15018:
	Any application which calls the iconv() function
	could encounter a serious performance problem.
	DTS #: JAGaa04914, STARS #: 4701389551

	PHCO_10881:
	Iconv still does not support HP -> UTF8 conversions.
	10.X iconv utf8 conversion does not work.
	DTS #: DSDe435235, DSDe434507

Defect Description:
	PHCO_18070:
	The problem occurs in sjis->euc conversion for
	Japanese-Hankaku characters, if the size of the input
	character string is greater than 1.

	Resolution:
	The implementation has been changed to properly process
	this condition.
	JAGaa12504, DSDe444151;SR 1653272971

	The converters from JIS to SJIS and JIS to EUCJP handled
	shift sequences that straddled input buffer boundaries
	incorrectly. This lead to incorrect conversion of some
	input characters.

	Resolution:
	The implementation has been changed to correctly convert
	characters on input buffer boundaries.
	JAGaa12695 JAGaa12696

	iconv(iconv_t     cd,
	      const char  **inchar,
	      size_t      *inbytesleft,
	      char        **outchar,
	      size_t      *outbytesleft)

	he iconv() function could casue SIGSEGV if input characters
	pointed to by "*inchar" and output characters pointed to by
	"*outhcar" are allocated in different quadrants in the
	address space.

	For example, if input characters (*inbytes) are allocated
	in stack (2nd quadrant) and output characters (*outbytes)
	are allocated in shared memory (3rd or 4th quadrant), this
	problem can happen.

	Resolution:
	The implementation has been changed to correctly calculate
	the address of the characters independently of the quadrant.
	JAGaa94168; SR 1653296129

	PHCO_15384:
	iconv() doesn't work for ucs2->eucJP(>3byte) conversion.

	PHCO_15018:
	iconv() is unacceptably slow.

	PHCO_10881:
	Iconv still does not support HP -> UTF8 conversions.
	10.X iconv utf8 conversion does not work.
	DTS #: DSDe435235, DSDe434507

Installation Instructions:
	Please review all instructions and the Hewlett-Packard
	SupportLine User Guide or your Hewlett-Packard support terms
	and conditions for precautions, scope of license,
	restrictions, and, limitation of liability and warranties,
	before installing this patch.
	------------------------------------------------------------
	1. Back up your system before installing a patch.

	2. Login as root.

	3. Copy the patch to the /tmp directory.

	4. Move to the /tmp directory and unshar the patch:

		cd /tmp
		sh PHCO_18070

	5a. For a standalone system, run swinstall to install the
	    patch:

		swinstall -x autoreboot=true -x match_target=true \
			-s /tmp/PHCO_18070.depot

	5b. For a homogeneous NFS Diskless cluster run swcluster on the
	    server to install the patch on the server and the clients:

		swcluster -i -b

	    This will invoke swcluster in the interactive mode and
	    force all clients to be shut down.

	    WARNING: All cluster clients must be shut down prior to the
		     patch installation.  Installing the patch while the
		     clients are booted is unsupported and can lead to
		     serious problems.

	    The swcluster command will invoke an swinstall session in which
	    you must specify:

		alternate root path  -  default is /export/shared_root/OS_700
		source depot path    -  /tmp/PHCO_18070.depot

	    To complete the installation, select the patch by choosing
	    "Actions -> Match What Target Has" and then "Actions -> Install"
	    from the Menubar.

	5c. For a heterogeneous NFS Diskless cluster:

		- run swinstall on the server as in step 5a to install
		  the patch on the cluster server.

		- run swcluster on the server as in step 5b to install
		  the patch on the cluster clients.

	By default swinstall will archive the original software in
	/var/adm/sw/patch/PHCO_18070.  If you do not wish to retain a
	copy of the original software, you can create an empty file
	named /var/adm/sw/patch/PATCH_NOSAVE.

	Warning: If this file exists when a patch is installed, the
	         patch cannot be deinstalled.  Please be careful
		 when using this feature.

	It is recommended that you move the PHCO_18070.text file to
	/var/adm/sw/patch for future reference.

	To put this patch on a magnetic tape and install from the
	tape drive, use the command:

		dd if=/tmp/PHCO_18070.depot of=/dev/rmt/0m bs=2k
