P1: DT3387 - sqrtf(3M) is extremely inaccurate when dealing with
denormed input arguments.
R1: Special case denormed input arguments as calls to the double
precision sqrt.
P2: DT3303 - "cpu Y" LED indicator on PH920 systems stays on after
the console processor is booted. Both "cpu Y" and "Fail" LEDS
stay red indicating a condition that caused the cpu to reset.
This state is not cleared.
R2: To reset the cpu, a write to its corresponding "rpic reset"
register is issued. A write of 1 has to be followed by a write
of 0 to clear the LEDs.
P3: DT3809 - PH920 Cannot access pci cards mounted on a PBX3.
Allocation of PCI IO space fails.
R3: This was corrected in pci_cfg_base(). When examining the pci
base address registers, if a device asks for PCI_MEM_64, we will
treat this as if the entry was non-active and return 0.
P4: DT3442 - Improper denormalizing of a number in C.
R4: This is corrected in libc.
P5: DT3341 - User's application calls sleep, which indirectly calls
the threads library routine _thr_alloc_chunk, and then fork()s
and exec()s another copy of itself. Since _thr_alloc_chunk never
closes the /dev/zero file descriptor, the count of open file
descriptors just increases across each exec until the max open
fd's is hit and it fails.
R5: Change _the_alloc_chunk to set the "close on exec" flag for the
/dev/zero file descriptor.
P6: DT3432 - In the is_in_table() routine, there was a call to
strchr() when dealing with directories in the exclude/include
files. This caused the directory names to be stripped from
the beginning of the pathname, not the end, and subdirectories
didn't get handled correctly. The result was that, if the
exclude file had a line to exclude a whole directory, the
directory and one file was excluded, but all subsequent files
and/or subdirectories within it were extracted.
R6: Changed the tar(1) to use strrchr() instead of strchr().
Enhancements:
1. RIQ10101 - Enhanced passwd(1) and yppasswd(1) to allow the
enforcement of mixed case passwords.

Software Update Name: dec-001

P1: DT3586 - When cold booting a PH640 with the DECs and the network
switch forced to 100baseT full duplex, DEC 2 does not connect.
If you then warm boot, or hit reset on the front of the board,
it will connect. ifconfig -a shows all networks up and running,
but netstat -i will hang and never return.
R1: The initialization logic for fixed speed/duplex connections was
not performing the correct reset sequence for the DEC 21140.
As a result the DEC interface would hang on the first TX packet
after the initial TX setup packet. This change corrects the
reset sequence in the fixed speed/duplex initialization logic.
Enhancements:
None.
Object(s) To Be Replaced:

###############################################################################
P1: DT3307 - Several manpages are not displaying long lines properly
due to a recent change to /usr/ucb/catman. These manual pages
need to be corrected.
R1: Modified cmn_err(D3), rmalloc(D3), rmalloc_aligned(D3),
rmalloc_lastaligned(D3), dwarf_init(3DWARF), and
dwarf_pclines(3DWARF) manpages to properly display long lines.
P2: DT3204 - The uname(1) manpage does not mention the -A option.
R2: The uname(1) manpage has been corrected for the -A option.
Enhancements:
1. RIQ10101 - Enhanced passwd(1) and yppasswd(1) to allow the
enforcement of mixed case passwords. The manpages were updated

P1: DT3509 - TIOCMGET ioctl command does not work with MVCS streams
based driver.

routine but improperly in strioctl(). The value from the data
argument is passed into user space correctly with this fix.

###############################################################################
P1: ktrace had been changed in 5.1 to interpret the pid into an
ascii name. This broke customer programs that filtered output
with "ktrace -v -i" and produced reports in their application.
The program expected the "pid=" field to be displayed as pid'tid.

mode.
