Path Name: /hp-ux_patches/s700_800/10.X/PHCO_22410

Symptoms:
	PHCO_22410:
	1. rlpdaemon, lpstat, lp, cancel, disable, enable, rlpstat
	   and rcancel have memory overflow.

	2. rlpdaemon does not handle control characters correctly.

	PHCO_14527:
	1. If you submit more than 52 files lp does not
	   remove those above 52.
	2. lpsched -v writes strange strings in log file
	   if LANG is set.
	3. lpsched -v intermittently stops by SIGSEGV in
	   catgets if LANG is set.
	4. 'lpstat' and 'cancel' memory fault with PHCO_11439
	   and LANG=Japanese.

	PHCO_11439:
	1. Cancelling a lp job with empty control file
	   clears the whole queue.
	2. Printer gets disabled on cancelling a printing
	   job.

	PHCO_10411:
	1. LP-spool hang or qstatus corrupt when /var full
	   log says:Bogus request
	2. Parent lpsched hangs when lpalt is used to move
	   a request.
	3. Model scripts does not handle SIGTERM any more.
	4. lpsched introduced 5 sec delay between prints at 10.20

	PHCO_8486:
	1. lpsched hangs under FIFO full condition
	2. Printers go idle even when requests are present
	   in the queue
	3. Jobs not printed when remote host(IBM) immediately
	   snaps connection.
	4. If a BSD system spooler sends a '\001' to rlp(1)
	   after the control file has been sent, rlp(1) simply
	   ignores the '\001' and removes the entry.

	PHCO_7102:
	1. When request comes from IBM, to a printer which is
	   in turn configured as a remote printer to another
	   system ( BSD or Non-BSD ) , the printer queue in
	   question will be shut down( disabled ).

	PHCO_6631:
	1. Permission denied from rcancel if NIS uppercase and
	   hostname lowercase.
	2. rcancel (1M) fails with "Permission denied" if
	   hostname is fully qualified.
	3. rlpdaemon and spooler subsytem not working with
	   WINDOWS NT.

	PHCO_6473:
	1. lp spooler hangs if printers with active requests
	   are disbled.
	2. lpsched(1M) deadlocks when its total "MORE" message
	   length exceeds 8192 bytes.
	3. Divpage was treating the character '0xff' as EOF. When
	   it gets this character it stops processing the input
	   file.

	PHCO_6310:
	If disk space is not available on the remote server to
	receive a print job the remote server responds with a
	return code of 02. The rlp process continues to run
	for approximately 5 minutes before it dies.

	PHCO_5998:
	When large number of files are sent to a remote spooler
	the first couple of files are printed at the expected
	speed but rest of the following files are printed very
	slowly.  The problem is seen on any machine running
	10.01 and remote spooling to the any other HP machine
	running 10.01, 9.04 or 9.05.

Defect Description:
	PHCO_22410:
	1. Memory fault in the commands is because of the
	   incorrect handling of buffer for error message.

	   Resolution:
	   The buffer size is increased for the error message.
	   If the argument is longer than the allocated buffer
	   size, it is truncated before printing the error
	   message.

	2. rlpdaemon does not filter control characters.
	   Because of this, some control characters may
	   turn the user's terminal insane.

	   Resolution:
	   Control characters are replaced with blanks in
	   rlpdaemon.

	PHCO_14527:
	1. Spooler was only deleting the data files whose
	   names start with "d".
	2. with LANG set, lpsched was improperly handling
	   repeated calls to catgets().
	3. Due to sharing of same fd's of catalogue message
	   files between parent and child processes in lpsched,
	   a SIGSEGV used to cause coredumps intermittently.
	4. The memory fault was due to buffer overflow with
	   LANG set.

	PHCO_11439:
	1. Cancelling a lp job with empty control file
	   clears the whole queue.
	2. Printer gets disabled on cancelling a printing
	   job.

	PHCO_10411:
	1. LP-spool hang or qstatus corrupt when /var full
	   log says:Bogus request
	2. Parent lpsched hangs when lpalt is used to move
	   a request.
	3. Model scripts does not handle SIGTERM any more.
	4. lpsched introduced 5 sec delay between prints at 10.20

	   ignores the '\001' and removes the entry.
