Symptoms:
        PHCO_9085:
         1) Trap on EXIT set outside a function is not executed.
            For example,

                trap 'echo exiting shell' EXIT
                f()
                {
                   exit
                }
                f

            should output "exiting shell" but instead produces no
            output.

         2) When a here-document is used on the left side of
            a pipeline that is put into the background,
            the shell sometimes fails to open temporary
            files.

            For example,

                cat <<EOF | more &
                xxxx
                EOF

            will sometimes produce the error:

                /tmp/sh1811.2: cannot open

         3) cd -P and pwd -P can fail when current directory path
            includes symbolic links where the link starts with ../
            For example:

                cd /tmp
                mkdir test
                cd test
                ln -s ../../usr lnk
                cd lnk
                pwd -P

            will produce the error "pwd: permission denied".

         4) ksh hangs when processing "cat bigfile | while read ..."
            The right side of the pipe can be any shell command
            (while, if, for, etc.)

Defect Description:
        PHCO_9085:
         1) A trap on EXIT set outside of a function is not
            executed if an exit is called from within a
            function.

         2) When a here-document is used on the left side of
            a pipeline that is put into the background,
            the shell sometimes fails to open temporary
            files.  A race condition exists that sometimes
            causes the shell to delete its temporary files
            before it has read them.

         3) cd -P and pwd -P generate nonexistent path names
            when the logical path uses symbolic links containing
            ..

         4) ksh hangs when processing "cat bigfile | while read ..."
            The right side of the pipe can be any shell command
            (while, if, for, etc.)

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_9085

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

                swinstall -x autoreboot=true -x match_target=true \
                        -s /tmp/PHCO_9085.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_9085.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_9085.  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_9085.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_9085.depot of=/dev/rmt/0m bs=2k
