Path Name: /hp-ux_patches/s700_800/10.X/PHSS_20672

Symptoms:
	PHSS_20672:
	1) Writing to mmap files causes PRM to think the
	system is paging.
	2) prmmonitor -s doesn't display PRM_SYS group.
	3) prmconfig and xprm will core dump if application
	record wildcard matches a zero-length file which has
	execute permission.

Defect Description:
	PHSS_20672:
	1) The kernel variable that PRM uses to monitor page-outs
	is incremented when processes write to mmap files.  This
	can fool PRM into thinking that the system is out of free
	memory and paging.
	2) prmmonitor -s was not displaying the PRM_SYS group.
	3) prmconfig and xprm use the same library, libprmext,
	to process application records.  The libprmext library
	contained code which would dereference a null pointer
	if an application record wildcard matched a zero-length
	file which had execute permission.
