  ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
  Defect fixed in scopeux A.08.17
  ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
    SR D500-143248
       Scopeux may terminate (core dump) as a result of disk mounts/unmounts.
       This occurs when the internal disk device table grows significantly
       and has to be reallocated. This problem was encountered on a system
       using the automounter.  The fix was to properly manage the disk device

       expansion.

After getting the patch onto your machine, unshar the patch (sh PHSS_1779).

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

4) You should now be in the "From Tape Device to Local System" window.
   Change the "Source:  /dev/rmt/0m" to "Source: /tmp/PHSS_1779.updt"

you move the PHSS_1779.text file to /system/PHSS_1779 to be retained for
