Symptoms:
	PHSS_23818:
	CR: JAGad64527:mk_kernel failure on 10.20 32 bit to 11.11
	               This defect was in patch PHSS_23644. The
	               problem occurs only when update_ux is run
	               which includes patch PHSS_23644.

	PHSS_23644:
	The patch PHSS_23070 was not installable using IUX.

	PHSS_23070:
	At the CDE login prompt, at the "language" menu,
	if you select es_ES.iso88591, CDE hangs.

Defect Description:
	PHSS_23818:
	CR: JAGad64527:mk_kernel failure on 10.20 32 bit to 11.11
	This problem occurs because of the cpp patch PHSS_23644.
	This patch installs 11.11 cpp in /usr/ccs/lbin/cpp. When
	update_ux is run to update from, for eg. a 10.x OS to 11.11,
	mk_kernel builds the 11.11 kernel sources before rebooting.
	Since the cpp binaries installed are of 11.11 and the cc
	is still 10.x , cc panics when it calls 11.11.
	The fix was not to ship /usr/ccs/lbin/cpp and
	/usr/lib/nls/msg/C/cpp.cat from the patch. Send only
	/usr/newconfig/usr/ccs/lbin/cpp and
	/usr/newconfig/usr/lib/nls/msg/C/cpp.cat along with this
	patch. This will ensure that the 10.x cpp
	does not get overwritten. IUX installation will need the
	cpp files in /usr/newconfig/usr/ccs/lbin/cpp and
	/usr/newconfig/usr/lib/nls/msg/C/cpp.cat directories but
	not the /usr/ccs/lbin/cpp and /usr/lib/nls/msg/C/cpp.cat
	files. This was the change made to PHSS_23644 patch in
	this patch. PHSS_23644 was created to fix IUX problem
	which will still work with this patch.
	Along with this change, since we are not shipping
	/usr/ccs/lbin/cpp and /usr/nls/msg/C/cpp.cat files,
	and the newconfig files would over-write the existing
	cpp files there should be a way to get back the old files
	if someone does an swremove. To take care of that, two
	new scripts were packaged, postinstall and postremove,
	which takes a backup of the old cpp files and restores
	the files when you run swremove.

	PHSS_23644:
	Making the patch PHSS_23070 installable using IUX too.

	PHSS_23070:
	The problem was because of an isdigit() library function
	call in cpp (the C preprocessor) which was made without
	checking if the input is within the allowable range.The
	return value in this case would be indeterminate which
	would cause cpp to get into an infinite loop.
	Resolution:
	Made a check in the cpp code whenever isdigit() is called
	as to whether the input parameter to isdigit() is in the
	allowable range.

	------------------------------------------------------------
	1. Back up your system before installing a patch.

	2. Login as root.

	3. Copy the patch to the /tmp directory.

	4. Move to the /tmp directory and unshar the patch:

		cd /tmp
		sh PHSS_23818

	5. Run swinstall to install the patch:

		swinstall -x autoreboot=true -x patch_match_target=true \
			  -s /tmp/PHSS_23818.depot

	By default swinstall will archive the original software in 
	/var/adm/sw/save/PHSS_23818.  If you do not wish to retain a
	copy of the original software, use the patch_save_files option:

		swinstall -x autoreboot=true -x patch_match_target=true \
			  -x patch_save_files=false -s /tmp/PHSS_23818.depot

	WARNING: If patch_save_files is false when a patch is installed,
		 the patch cannot be deinstalled.  Please be careful
		 when using this feature.

	For future reference, the contents of the PHSS_23818.text file is 
	available in the product readme:

		swlist -l product -a readme -d @ /tmp/PHSS_23818.depot

	To put this patch on a magnetic tape and install from the
	tape drive, use the command:

		dd if=/tmp/PHSS_23818.depot of=/dev/rmt/0m bs=2k
