Patch Name: PHSS_4478 Patch Description: s300_400 9.X fawrite error with long strings on CRX display The bug occurs in a fawrite() of 122 or more characters at x offset 0-7 when using libsb1.a (ok in libsb.sl) and calling fm_clipflag(fd, FALSE) after fm_load() (calling fm_clipflag() first seems to be ok). After calling the faulty fawrite(), it seems to close the device file since errno of subsequent starbase calls indicates bad file number.

To install this patch do the following: 1) Run /etc/update (Note: you must be logged in as root to update a system). 2) Once in the update "Main Menu" move the highlighted line to "Change Source or Destination ->" and press "Return" or "Select Item". 3) Make sure the highlighted item in the "Change Source or Destination" window is "From Tape Device to Local System ...", then press "Return" or "Select Item". 4) You should now be in the "From Tape Device to Local System" window. Change the "Source: /dev/rmt/0m" to "Source: /tmp/PHSS_4478.updt" (this assumes that you are in the /tmp directory where PHSS_4478.updt has been placed). Note: You must enter the complete path name. 5) Press "Done". 6) From here on follow the standard directions for update. The customized script that update runs will move the original software to /system/PHSS_4478/orig. HP recommends keeping this software there in order to recover from any potential problems. It is also recommended that you move the PHSS_4478.text file to /system/PHSS_4478 to be retained for future reference. If you wish to put this patch on a magnetic tape and update from the tape drive, dd a copy of the patch to the tape drive. As an example the following will create a copy of the patch that update can read: dd if=PHSS_4478.updt of=/dev/rmt/0m bs=2048
