Symptoms:
	PHNE_21888:
	        ( SR not found ; Defect:  JAGad05815)
	When run on systems with versions of transport prior to
	patch PHNE_17018, the mibget routine in libnm can return
	incomplete results and cause program core dumps.

	PHNE_19984:
	        ( SR not found ; Defect:  JAGaa95608)
	Calling the function get_if_table causes a program
	core dump.
	        ( SR not found ; Defect:  JAGaa93989)
	There is no 64 bit version of libnm.

Defect Description:
	PHNE_21888:
	        ( SR not found ; Defect:  JAGad05815)
	Symptom:
	When run on systems with versions of transport prior to
	patch PHNE_17018, the mibget routine in libnm can return
	incomplete results and cause program core dumps.
	Defect Description:
	The underlying ioctl interface used by libnm to obtain
	information from the kernel sometimes returns NULL entries.
	Improper handling of these NULL entries causes libnm to
	core dump or return prematurely with incomplete results.
	Versions of transport starting with PHNE_17018 never return
	these NULL entries and do not exhibit this behavour.
	Resolution:
	The routine mibget() was modified to deal correctly with
	the NULL entries returned by the kernel.

	PHNE_19984:
	        ( SR not found ; Defect:  JAGaa95608)
	Symptom:
	Calling the function get_if_table causes a program
	core dump.
	Defect Description:
	When an application buffer is smaller than the
	size of the system if_table, the get_if_table function
	gets a SIGSEGV and causes the program to core dump.
	Resolution:
	Return errno EMSGSIZE, when the API buffer is
	smaller than the size of system if_table.
	        ( SR not found ; Defect:  JAGaa93989)
	Symptom:
	There is no 64 bit version of libnm.
	Defect Description:
	There is no 64 bit version of libnm.
	Resolution:
	The library libnm has ben ported to 64-bit safe.
