HP Tru64 UNIX and TruCluster Server Version 5.1.B-4 Patch Summary and Release Notes (13156)

• Corrects default values for YESEXPR and NOEXPR defined in the localedef command and
libc to get correct return value from nl_langinfo(YESEXPR) and nl_langinfo(NOEXPR)
• Resolves a problem that could cause the rexec() function to hang.
• Fixes the getaddrinfo() routine to work properly when IPv6 is not configured.
• Fixes memory leaks in the libc getipnodebyname routine, which is used by ldapcd. The leaks
caused intermittent SSO SIA authentication failures.
• Fixes an issue with the KZPCC backplane RAID adapter device driver (I2O) that causes its
logical disk drives to be identified as SCSI devices
• Fixes the mountd daemon to prevent it from becoming unresponsive at a few large sites.
• Fixes a problem in SIA by resetting the mechanism's context pkgind on a sucessful return
of (set|end)*ent calls.
• Fixes a POSIX standard violation in the strfmon() function. The preceding and following
spaces will be padded to return value to make equal length between positive and negative
values.
• Fixes a security issue with the C library routine getnameinfo().
• Fixes getnameinfo() to display an IPv4 address instead of an IPv4 mapped IPv6 address
when the BIND mapping does not exist.
• Fixes a POSIX standard violation in the wcstod() function. An incorrect pointer was set to
the endptr parameter of wcstod() for cases where no conversion was made.
• Fixes the swprintf() function to return the correct value if it detects an invalid wide-character.
• Fixes the ypwhich -m command to prevent RPC timeout error messages.
