If you do have a support contract, get in touch with SGI and try forcing the issue. The more pressure from outside, the more likely it will get fixed.

You could try backing out patches, but you can go crazy trying that... ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Thu, 22 Jan 1998 09:04:04 -0800 From: Steve Alexander <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: Marc Slemko <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: Re: os-irix/1710: Some image files get corrupted during transfer Marc Slemko <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> writes: >We have had numerous reports of data corruption when using Apache >on IRIX.

There are rumors of a corruption problem in some recent 6.2 kernel rollup patches, but I don't have any details yet. -- Steve
