Subject:  [VOICENWS] NETBIOS LAN/DOS Session bug in MCP and eCS

From: cockeatcatherders.com 


There is a NETBIOS LAN/DOS session bug in MCP, eCS, and, under  certain
circumstances, in Warp 4 FP 15.  The effect of this bug is to raise the
chance of data corruption for people using DOS  applications on an OS/2
network to 'almost certain'.

IBM has now successfully reproduced the bug.  I have been informed  that
this bug will =not= be addressed in the upcoming release of  fixpack 1 for
MCP.

Since this problem can impact many, [and since I have been receiving  many
questions on it since reporting it], I have set up a web page with 
detailed information on the bug.  The web page also contains information
on subscribing to a mailing list to discuss the bug and coordinate 
efforts to develop some sort of workaround until and if IBM fixes the 
problem.

The web page URL is http://www.catherders.com/doslanbug.shtml
