Patch Name: PHNE_1029 Patch Description: Restore flags for a process during an aborted system call. This patch correctly restores the flags modified by a process whose system call is being aborted. (This patch is required if PHNE_1034 is installed to correct a x29printd problem.) 4701-093930 : The pty driver incorrectly restores its state when an application on a slave pty receives a signal while waiting to handshake with the master. When the driver cleans up it incorrectly resets a flag which indicates that a trap is pending, therefore introducing the incorrect behavior to the select on the master pty. The fix is included in HP-UX A.B9.00 and is patched for the following releases also: Series 800 @ 8.0: PHNE_1030 Series 8x7 @ 8.02: PHNE_1031 Path Name: /hp-ux_patches/s700/8.X/PHNE_1029 Effective Date: 92/04/24 Patch Files: /system/PHNE_1029/new/tty_pty.o SR/APR#: 4701-093930 "what" string/timestamp: PATCH_8.07: tty_pty.o 1.5.187.3 92/04/21 "sum" output: 19193 33 tty_pty.o Dependencies: Must be installed on HP-UX 8.07.

To install this patch do the following: 1) Run the update program (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/PHNE_1029.updt" (this assumes that you are in the /tmp directory where PHNE_1029.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/PHNE_1029/orig. HP recommends keeping this software there in order to recover from any potential problems. It is also recommended that you move the PHNE_1029.text file to /system/PHNE_1029 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=PHNE_1029.updt of=/dev/rmt/0m bs=2048
