Patch Name: PHCO_16850 Patch Description: s300_400 9.10 nroff(1) cumulative patch Creation Date: 98/11/04 Post Date: 98/11/06 Hardware Platforms - OS Releases: s300_400: 9.10 Products: N/A Filesets: TEXT-FMT Automatic Reboot?: No Status: General Release Critical: No Path Name: /hp-ux_patches/s300_400/9.X/PHCO_16850 Symptoms: PHCO_16850: When running nroff with the -c option (as it is invoked by mm(1)), nroff will core dump. Also, when nroff is run with other options, parts of a document can be missing from the output, and an inverse video or bold qualifier will be incorrectly applied to some sections of the output. This can be seen when running man(1) to display man pages. PHCO_14860: When specifying the current year with \n(yr (2 digits), and the current year is 2000 or later, the year value will appear in the target document with 3 digits (like 103 instead of 03 if the year is 2003). Defect Description: PHCO_16850: When PHCO_14860 was released, the compiled macro libraries should have been rebuilt and released as well. PHCO_14860: The code was not designed with the year 2000 in mind.
