Symptoms:
	PHSS_20214:
	Repackaging of PHSS_17545 for TOS.
	(PHSS_17545)
	  Note: some of these lines were wrapped to fit into a
	  (required) 60 column format. This will make some message
	  text look different from how it appears to the user.
	1) pxdb internal warning: cu[#]:SLT_SRCFILE[#] out of
	   synch
	2) Runtime type identification no longer works in xdb
	3) pxdb: warning: corrupted PD table

	(PHSS_13124)
	1) PXDB: internal error, DDE: Unable to access object
	2) Garbled/lost symbols in debuggers.
	3) pxdb: internal error. File won't be debuggable
	    (still a valid executable)
	4) pxdb internal warning: unknown SLT type 13
	5) pxdb internal warning: unknown SLT type 13
	6) Warning: Unable to open pxdb message catalog using
	    NLSPATH "/opt/langtools/lib/nls/msg/%L/%N.cat:
	    /opt/langtools/lib/nls/msg/C/%N.cat" .
	      Using internal messages.
	7) debugger has a problem getting correct debug info
	   from the executable file.

	(PHSS_11266)
	DDE couldn't resolve source lines if ANSI C++
	Compile Time Template Instantiations were used.

	(PHSS_8490)
	pxdb aborts and coredumps with some files.

	(PHSS_7731)
	User transparent fix to pxdb necessary for C++.
	Without this patch, debugging C++ programs would
	be potentially unreliable. This patch also reduces
	the size of debug mode executable files.

Defect Description:
	PHSS_20214:
	Repackaging of PHSS_17545 for TOS.
	(PHSS_17545)
	  Note: some of these lines were wrapped to fit into a
	  (required) 60 column format. This will make some message
	  text look different from how it appears to the user.
	1) When some C programs are compiled with -g and -O
	   options the C compiler gives the following message:
	   Procedures: 7
	   pxdb internal warning: cu[#]: SLT_SRCFILE[#] out of
	   synch
	   Please contact your HP Support representative
	   pxdb: internal error. File won't be debuggable
	   (still a valid executable)

	2) Runtime type identification did not work in xdb 11.0
	   versions. Due to this even when virtual functions
	   are used, when the base class pointer pointed the
	   derived class object, the base class function was
	   selected by xdb instead of the derived class function.

	3) On some programs pxdb gives the following warning:
	   ...
	   Procedures: 54
	   Files: 6
	   pxdb: warning: corrupted PD table
	   VT table mmap purge.

	(PHSS_13124)
	  Note: some of these lines were wrapped to fit into a
	  (required) 60 column format. This will make some message
	  text look different from how it appears to the user.
	1) When I ran dde, I can't use source level debugging
	because pxdb32 failed with the following internal error:

	# dde basicdsd
	...
	Procedures: 55
	Files: 19
	Executing image in process 4881:
	  "/pdbuild/stran/bin/basicdsd".
	warning: cannot find VAL in modified Value Table.
	pxdb32: internal error. File won't be debuggable
	  (still a valid executable)
	warning: cannot find m_r in modified Value Table.
	warning: cannot find mFv in modified Value Table.
	pxdb32: internal error. File won't be debuggable
	  (still a valid executable)

	==============
	Here's what appeared on the dde window:

	/opt/langtools/bin/pxdb will be run on object file
	 /pdbuild/stran/bin/basicdsd.
	/opt/langtools/bin/pxdb will be run on object file

	2) When bringing up the debugger DDE on demo.z,
	one sees this (note garbage symbols
	starting with "kXti_Fi":

	6) Warning: Unable to open pxdb message catalog using
	    NLSPATH "/opt/langtools/lib/nls/msg/%L/%N.cat:
	    /opt/langtools/lib/nls/msg/C/%N.cat" .
	      Using internal messages.

	7) On some programs DDE has a problem getting correct debug
	info from the executable file. This appears to be an
	interaction of pxdb with the underlying system, possibly
	mmap, because the problem doesn't happen on a copy of the
	program - even in the same directory.  The bits in the
	original and the copy are the same, as seen by cmp.

	Another symptom:
	After compiling the test program `print' I attempted to
	load it into DDE.
	An unknown debug info node kind was encountered
	 (DNTT index 0x162).
	Unexpected error in sym package.
	Unexpected error in sym package.

	(PHSS_11266)
	pxdb couldn't handle ANSI C++
	Compile Time Template Instantiations.

	(PHSS_8490)
	The use of inlined functions can trigger the problem.

	(PHSS_7731)
	Patch is necessary for C++ patch PHSS_7497 and PHSS_7498

	------------------------------------------------------------
	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_20214

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

		swinstall -x autoreboot=true -x match_target=true \
			-s /tmp/PHSS_20214.depot

	By default swinstall will archive the original software in
	/var/adm/sw/patch/PHSS_20214.  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_20214.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_20214.depot of=/dev/rmt/0m bs=2k
