Symptoms:
        PHSS_5031:
        The following symptoms correspond to the descriptions in
        the defect descriptions field for PHSS_5031:
        1. Pasting a large cut buffer to xterm will overrun xterm,
           causing loss of data.

Defect Description:
        PHSS_5031:
        The following defect descriptions are for PHSS_5031:
        1. Due to a change in how the xterm client was built, it
           no longer was built as a shared-library client, but was
           instead built using archived libraries.  To verify that
           you need to load the new version of xterm, type the
           command "size /usr/bin/X11/xterm"; the size
           information returned should be in the area of 990k bytes.
        2. Unlike hpterm, xterm did not force the 'ixoff' tty
           control mode to the 'enabled' state; this mode controls
           handshaking used to prevent input queue overflow.
           Because the 'ixoff' mode was not forced to be enabled
           by xterm, it was possible that the handshaking would
           be left disabled, thus allowing the input queue to
           overflow during a large paste operation.  To verify
           that you need to install the updated version of xterm,
           do the following:

                 a) Go to a terminal window, and disable 'ixoff'
                    mode, by typing:  stty -ixoff.
                 b) Run xterm, by typing the following into the
                    terminal window used to perform step (a):
                    /usr/bin/X11/xterm
                 c) In the new xterm window, verify that 'ixoff'
                    is still disabled, by typing: stty -a
                    (You should see '-ixoff' in the output).

        PHSS_4219:
        The following defect descriptions are for PHSS_4219:
        1. Added xhost and xrdb clients to this patch.
           (SR# 5003117150)
        2. Incorporated new customize script.

        PHSS_3594:
        The following defect descriptions are for PHSS_3594:
        1. SIGTERM is ignored when issued from a Bourne shell
           (SR# 1653074914)

        PHSS_3410:
        The following defect descriptions are for PHSS_3410:
        1. Logging is now disabled.
        2. LINES and COLUMNS not set properly under csh(1)

        PHSS_2807:
        The following defect descriptions are for PHSS_2807:
        1. xterm used to ignore SIGHUP but was change for R5
           on SYSV systems.  This means that in R5, xterm died
           when its' parent was killed.  This patch changes its
           behavior back to that of R4.
        2. The 9.0 version of xterm is based on R5.  The R5 xterm
           does not export the LINES and COLUMNS evironment
           variables by default, but instead depends on programs
           reading this information from the pty.  This patched
           xterm has been changed so that it again exports LINES
           and COLUMNS into the environment.
