DRIVERS patch kit revision 5.0 for TCPware Version 5.8-2 14-Nov-2008
Copyright (c) 2008 Process Software, LLC
Highest ECO Rank 1 (DRIVERS_V582P041)
Version 5.0 Rank 3 - Corrects a specific problem.
This patch kit provides new versions of the following drivers for
TCPware Version 5.8-2:
DRIVERS_V582P050 - ECO Rank: 3 - Corrects a specific problem
----------------
UDPDRIVER, - Reduce alignment faults on Integrity and Alpha
TCPDRIVER, systems. DE 10792 ECO Rank 3
IPDRIVER
BGDRIVER - The BGDRIVER will now start the keepalive timer
when keepalives are enabled on a connected socket.
DE 10804 ECO Rank 3
This kit also includes the following changes from previous ECO kits:
DRIVERS_V582P041 - ECO Rank: 1 - Corrects a potential crash
----------------
UDPDRIVER, - Correct the possibility of an undetected error
TCPDRIVER, when allocating a socket data structure, which
IPDRIVER could cause a crash.
DE 10780 ECO Rank 1
BGDRIVER - Performance improvements for Integrity systems.
ECO Rank 3.
DRIVERS_V582P030 - ECO Rank: 1 - Corrects a potential crash
----------------
UDPDRIVER - Additional checking when walking a list to avoid a
potential crash.
DE 10427 ECO Rank 1
IPDRIVER - Correct error in processing timed filters
ECO Rank 3
DRIVERS_V582P020 - ECO Rank: 3 - Corrects a specific problem
----------------
UCX$IPC_SHR - Add resolver support routines necessary for PMDF and
PreciseMail Anti-Spam to do SPF checking.
DRIVERS_V582P012 - ECO Rank: 3 - Corrects a specific problem
----------------
BGDRIVER - Allow sockaddrs greater than 16 bytes. This allows
programs that use a data structure large enough to
hold a sockaddr_in6 to run.
INETDRIVER - Allow AF_UNSPEC (0) as the family in sockaddrs as
well as AF_INET.
UCX$IPC_SHR - Always set the address family to AF_INET when
putting the BSD 4.3 sockaddr in BSD 4.4 format.
Correction of errors found in BSD 4.4 functions
and getaddrinfo implementation.
NOTE: You must reboot your system after installing this patch in order
to load the new driver(s).
The old versions of the images will be renamed to *.EXE_OLD.
Once installed, you may undo this patch by renaming the file(s) back to:
TCPWARE_COMMON:[TCPWARE]UCX$IPC_SHR.EXE_OLD to
TCPWARE_COMMON:[TCPWARE]UCX$IPC_SHR.EXE
TCPWARE_COMMON:[TCPWARE]IPDRIVER.EXE_OLD to
TCPWARE_COMMON:[TCPWARE]IPDRIVER.EXE
TCPWARE_COMMON:[TCPWARE]TCPDRIVER.EXE_OLD to
TCPWARE_COMMON:[TCPWARE]TCPDRIVER.EXE
TCPWARE_COMMON:[TCPWARE]BGDRIVER.EXE_OLD to
TCPWARE_COMMON:[TCPWARE]BGDRIVER.EXE
TCPWARE_COMMON:[TCPWARE]UDPDRIVER.EXE_OLD to

says...
The first drivers ECO for V5.8-2 (p013, IIRC) also applied to
V5.7-2, as mentioned in its .readme file. The most recent 2, p041
and p050, don't mention TCPware V5.7-2 in the .readme. Does this
ECO also apply to V5.7-2, or should I hang on to DRIVERS_V582P013
for that. (BTW, the readme for V582P013 explicitly says it supersedes
DRIVERS_V572P120, but that ECO kit is still in the 57_2 directory at
ftp.process.com.)

changed between TCPware 5.7 and 5.8. This makes TCPware 5.8 IPDRIVER
incompatible with TCPware 5.7 if you are using filters (because
NETCU/NETCP have not been updated with the new format). If you are not
using filters, then this kit will work for you. For those of you using
filters it will work if you delete the IPDRIVER that it puts in place
and use a TCPware 5.7 IPDRIVER, which should be in
TCPWARE:IPDRIVER.EXE_OLD
