    FWIW, we're starting to see these PWRK$CONFIG causing system halt 
    calls again for folks going from v5.0C ECO3 to v5.0E ECO1.  Seems to be
    a VAX running VMS 6.1 each time.  
    
    We're trying to confirm if reboot after the install (before
    pwrk$config) avoids the crash, but indications are that even if they
    reboot immediately after the install, when they run pwrk$config, it
    halts the system.  After the subsequent reboot pwrk$config runs w/o
    problems.
    
    In the case I worked Saturday and another I'm aware of, it appears it
    was PWRK$VERIFY.EXE that caused the halt (the halt occurs  right after
    the message "Checking SYSGEN parameters" is  displayed, which is when
    pwrk$verify executes). 
    
    I'm trying to reproduce on a uVAX 3400; the customer having the 
    major problem (he has 12 VAX 6.1 systems that need PATHWORKS upgraded) 
    has VAX 7000 class systems, so I'm not confident my attempts to
    reproduce will be fruitful.
    
    Just thought I'd (re)start this thread in anticipation that others will
    be getting calls on it...
