These have all been repackageded and re-uploaded today. ftp://testcase.boulder.ibm.com/ps/fromibm/os2/ From: "Scott E. Garfinkle" [All followups to comp.os.os2.bugs] [Moderator's note: As always these are not officially supported by IBM unless they tell you to use them. Please send any followup to comp.os.os2.bugs on usenet. Also note that files are only on IBM's testcase for 2-3 days, so if you want to try these get them now. Make certain you back up any files replaced and don't try these on a production system. Read any readme file before applying any changes. If your system is working well, and you have no problems addressed by these updates, do yourself a favour and don't mess with this. You have been warned. These testcase kernels contain fixes since xr_e002/xr_m015/mcp2/acp2. The UNI and SMP files are for WSeB/ACP/eCS Pro (SMP kernel) and the W4 files are for post FP15/MCP versions, including eComStation. Only use the SMP kernel on a machine with more then one CPU. Here are the latest changes in this version, as posted in the readme file. (See the Readme for a complete listing):] Bug Fixes: 04/16: Added test fix for trap 000e in _ldrSegFixAddIterRec - *May* have fixed some strange program load behavior with the implementation of the latest JR15038 fix. Fixes to problems that exist in released code: 0416 revision 14.089b PJ28541 sys0008 trying to start up lots of huge DLLs JR15038 new version: rather than slowing executable loads for everyone, I've gone back to using the faster stack-based buffer allocations most of the time. If you have loaded an ISS (security) or if you explicitly add "LDRSTACKOPT=TRUE" (No "SET ,,," please) to config.sys, we will try to minimize ring 0 stack usage by allocating buffers off the heap. This is slower, but prevents ring 0 trap 0008s in some cases. If you use TCPBEUI, particularly with the IBMTRP driver, you should probably add this parameter to config.sys. -- To unsubscribe yourself from this list, send the following message to majormajoratos2voice.org unsubscribe news end If you have an announcement you would like posted to the VOICE News list, please send it to submitatos2voice.org.
