FULL PROBLEM DESCRIPTION
------------------------
When loading an asset from multiple source files, sometimes 
the asset fails to load altogether, with an error number 26 
ETXTBSY in diagnostic logs.  Other times the asset loads 
successfully, but the asset attributes (type, bitrate, framerate) 
are all zero so the client will not play the asset.

Modified vip daemon to wait and retry one time only if
ETXTBSY return code is encountered.
Vip was invoking vsparse once for each source file
loaded into a single asset.  Changed this
to only invoke vsparse once for the first file, and
not invoke vsparse again if the first invocation
was successful.

FILESETS:   avs.de.rte  2.0.0.1


INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS 
--------------------------

(1) Download the file "avs.de.rte_2.0.0.1.bff" 
in binary mode into an empty directory on your VideoCharger server.

(2) Logon as user 'root'.  Stop the VideoCharger Server by
using the command "stopsrc -cg vs".  Type the command 
"lssrc -g vs" to verify that all the processes have stopped.

(3)Apply the update using the command "smitty update_all".
For "INPUT device / directory for software" specify the 
directory in which you saved the .bff file.
        
(4) On the "Update Currently Installed Software to Latest Level" panel,
press the 'enter' key to start the installation program.    

(5) After installation has completed successfully restart the VideoCharger
server by using the command "startsrc -g vs" at the command prompt.
