Patch Name: PHCO_27950 Patch Description: s700_800 11.11 tbl(1) cumulative patch Creation Date: 02/11/11 Post Date: 02/11/15 Hardware Platforms - OS Releases: s700: 11.11 s800: 11.11 Products: N/A Filesets: TextFormatters.TEXT-FMT,fr=B.11.11,fa=HP-UX_B.11.11_32/64,v=HP Automatic Reboot?: No Status: General Release Critical: No Category Tags: defect_repair general_release Path Name: /hp-ux_patches/s700_800/11.X/PHCO_27950 Symptoms: PHCO_27950: ( SR:8606277711 CR:JAGae41780 ) tbl(1) puts a newline ('\n') character for a line more than 512 bytes resulting in invalid manpage output. Defect Description: PHCO_27950: ( SR:8606277711 CR:JAGae41780 ) tbl(1) is used in the processing of the manpages. Single byte locales may see a words split if the man page contains lines >512 characters and a word goes over the boundary and multi-byte locales may see corruption if a multi-byte character is split by the extra \n inserted at 512 bytes. Resolution: A check is added to find whether a newline character was found at the end of the line. If found then tbl(1) will print newline. The read buffer has also been increased.
