Hi Stan,
What is the known Solaris bug & what is the Sun fix?
Any idea what the patch might break if one applied it before Foxboro
evaluated it?
I know Solaris is the operating system Foxboro used as a base for our I/A,
but I don't believe our software is the same as the Solaris you could buy
off the shelf. Modifications to Solaris made by Foxboro for compatibility
with past versions of I/A can (I'm told) make "regular" Sun patches
dangerous to us.
