PROBLEM: Load testing of the CD-ROM driver sc01 on a multiprocessor
computer system can sometimes panic the system. This occurs
because the CD-ROM driver sc01 is a single-threaded,
uniprocessing target, and during load testing sdi_callback()
may perform the target's interrupt callback on a different
processor from that to which it was bound, which will
violate its concurrency assumptions.
The same problem could apply to other single-threaded SCSI
targets including mc01 (medium changer), sp01 (processor),
st01 (tape), sw01 (worm), and cled (Compaq ProLiant processor).
ptf4013b also addresses these problems. (This problem should
not occur with the multi-threaded sd01 (disk) target.)
One additional issue is addressed by SLS ptf4013b as opposed
to SLS ptf4013a: under certain specific conditions, a panic
could occur in the SDI driver on system startup. This panic
would occur in the function sdi_register().

PROBLEM: I have configured my remote network printer in Printer Manager
without errors. I am able to print and "lpstat -t" lists my network
printer. However, when I go back into Printer Manager, my network
printer is not listed. If I configure local printers
(serial/parallel) first, configure a network printer with lpd,
exit and re-enter Printer Manager, all printers are listed except
the lpd printer.
If an lpd printer is the first printer configured with Printer
Manager, it and all subsequent printers will not be listed when
re-entering Printer Manager. All printers configured after lpd have
been used and are not listed when re-entering Printer Manager.

PROBLEM: The System Administrator configured a remote UNIX printer (TCPIP
RLP), then configured a local printer. The administrator tried to
configure settings for the local printer using the 'Settings' menu
of the SCOadmin Printer Manager, but the Printer Manager fails with
an error similar to:
Unable to get complete data for 'Printer Control'
Failed to retrieve the following attribute(s) of local printer <printer>:
==>printerRemoteAccessStatus
==>printerJobAcceptanceStatus
==>printerJobProcessingStatus.
The object instance <printer> does not exist.
Printing to both the remote and local printers works correctly, and
both printers may be listed and administered by the lpstat(C) and
lpadmin(ADM) utilities.
This problem does not occur with local printers that were configured
before the remote UNIX printer.

(3) The adsl driver hangs in adsl_getblk under heavy disk I/O.
(4) Failover of the OSR5000 controller causes an ODM mirror break
after which, the rebuild time is exceptionally long.
(5) Performing an mccntl -l command causes a panic with adsl.

PROBLEM: My system does not install for the following reasons:
- An HBA driver uses a maximum transfer size that is less than
128KB (for example, an IBM "ips" driver supporting the IBM
ServeRAID HBA).
- A memory address conflict between a device and the "pcic" memory
address range of d0000 to dffff results in a red screen at the end
of system installation. This screen reports the memory conflict and
the failure of the kernel relink.
- The Symbios C8xx driver incorrectly loads on port 1 of the
Compaq 64-Bit Dual Channel Wide Ultra2 SCSI controller.
- An abort occurs when attempting an install with SLS ptf7425a
on a system with a Mylex HBA.

PROBLEM: Using the TCP/IP socket I/O function:
getsockopt(sock,SOL_SOCKET,SO_ERROR,&errval,&len_errval)
in order to determine the status of an asynchronous connection
returns undocumented or incorrect values. Under SCO UnixWare 2.1.3,
the value in "errval" is 99 [ENOPROTOOPT] when the connection is
ready to use, which is incorrect.
Further, if the connection fails (after a timeout), the
getsockopt() function under both UnixWare 7.x and SCO UnixWare 2.1.3
will return 32 [EPIPE] which has the side effect of killing the
process unless a signal handler is in place.
