	PHSS_14802: CORRUPTION

Path Name: /hp-ux_patches/s700_800/10.X/PHSS_15389

Symptoms:
	PHSS_15389:
	CLLbs14388  A long bit load request of zero length will
	     return incorrect result.

	PHSS_14802:
	SR 1653-257048  Calling a C routine from MF Cobol that
	     multiplies two long long's together corrupts an
	     unrelated C global.

	PHSS_7505:
	This patch is required for the next release of C++ and
	Fortran. C++ and Fortran will emit fixups which are
	unknown to the previous ld.  This patch is also
	required by (but does not require) ld patch
	PHSS_7452 on systems prior to 10.20.

Defect Description:
	PHSS_15389:
	   The return registers were not set to
	   zero if the length field of the bit load was zero

	PHSS_14802:
	   A static variable contained in milli.a had the wrong
	   size and alignment.  Writes to that variable corrupts
	   other data.

	PHSS_7505:
	This patch is required for the next release of C++ and
	Fortran. C++ and Fortran will emit fixups which are
	unknown to the previous ld.

Installation Instructions:

	------------------------------------------------------------
	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 PHSS_15389

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

		swinstall -x autoreboot=true -x match_target=true \
			-s /tmp/PHSS_15389.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/PHSS_15389.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/PHSS_15389.  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 PHSS_15389.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/PHSS_15389.depot of=/dev/rmt/0m bs=2k
