Patch Name: PHNE_1157

Patch Description: ipcselect - timeout fails, descriptors may not be checked.

There is a problem with timeouts where ipcselect(2) will not time out in any
case.  Further, there is a problem where ipcselect(2) might not actually check
all 'selected' virtual circuits.  This happens because ipcselect(2)
returns an incorrect value for sdbound.  If ipcselect(2) is used in a loop,
without changing sdbound, then it will not check some virtual circuits.
This should not affect many users of ipcselect(2).

After getting the patch onto your machine, unshar the patch
(sh PHNE_1157)

To install this patch do the following:
1) Run the update program (Note: you must be 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: PHNE_1157.updt" assuming
   you are in the directory where PHNE_1157.updt has been placed.  In some
   versions, you may need to enter the absolute path name.  In others, the
   default "/dev/rmt/0m" may not appear in the field as default.
5) Press "Done".
6) Move to the "Select All Filesets on Source Media" line and press "Return".

The customized script that update runs will move the original software
to /system/PHNE_1157/orig.  HP recommends keeping this software there in
order to recover from any potential problems.  It is also recommended
that you move the PHNE_1157.text file to /system/PHNE_1157 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:
