VI. DESCRIPTION OF PROBLEMS FIXED ================================= The following are descriptions of the problems fixed. Please read the entire document before installing. README Conventions: Description Describes a particular problem contained in this pack. ** Description ** Describes a problem that can lead to potential data loss. Please read these problem descriptions carefully. Workaround Any available workarounds to a problem are also listed. Workarounds can be used INSTEAD of applying the patch, however, Symantec strongly recommends BOTTOM LINE: if you install the patch, you shouldn't have to worry about the workaround.
