Patch Name:  PHKL_1637

Patch Description: memory leak within NFS.

   The patch also fixes a memory leak that can occur using NFS.  The amount
   of memory available to the system can be bled off until there is not
   enough left to execute processes.  This only occurs if a non-HP machine
   is an NFS client.

   The equivalent patch for 8.07 is included in PHKL_1602.

   The will be a patch for HP-UX 8.0, but the patch number is not known at
   this time.

   The problem is fixed in HP-UX 9.0.

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
After getting the patch onto your machine, unshar the patch (sh PHKL_1637).

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/PHKL_1637.updt"
   (this assumes that you are in the /tmp directory where PHKL_1637.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/PHKL_1637/orig.  HP recommends keeping this software there in
order to recover from any potential problems.  It is also recommended that
you move the PHKL_1637.text file to /system/PHKL_1637 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=PHKL_1637.updt of=/dev/rmt/0m bs=2048
