243.0. "SECREFNEG bc on 6.2 that should have been fixed" by CSC32::KLIMAS () Tue Feb 25 1997 02:03

    I saw a SECREFNEG bugcheck on axp vms 6.2 that matched very closely with
    an elevation made under 6.1.  This problem was supposed to be fixed by
    alpsys08_xxx but the patch for this bugcheck only applies to pre-6.2
    systems and the fix was supposed to be in 6.2 axp vms.  Can someone
    verify that this fix was really incorporated into 6.2? 
    
    The documentation that comes with the patch is as follows:
    
    Problems addressed in ALPSYS05_062 kit for OpenVMS Alpha V6.1,                
      V6.1-1H1, V6.1-1H2:                                                         
                                                                                  
      o  INVEXCEPTN, INCONMMGST, and SECREFNEG bugchecks occur when               
         running heavy SMP loads.  The INVEXCEPTN is in PAGEFAULT, at             
         a point where it is using a global page table entry.                     
                                                                                  
         This problem is corrected in OpenVMS Alpha V6.2                          
    \                                                                             
    \         QAR(s):  EVMS-ZETA-FT #169, #226, #241, EVMS-ZETA #3675   
    
    Any help appreciated.

  Confirm the OpenVMS version number, run the CLUE output from the
  crash through the CANASTA e-mail server, and (if no matches are
  found from CANASTA), elevate the problem via an IPMT.
