This patch contains the following software changes:


CS0085663:

   Problem: Sporadic kernel crash when closing files under certain conditions.

   Fix: MVFS was modified to validate some kernel structures when a file is closing.


CS0100993:

   Problem: When running a build using clearmake, a segment fault may occur if clearmake encounters an extremely large macro expansion.

   Fix: Clearmake has been updated to address large macro expansions.


CS0111980:

   Problem: Clearcase does not make it clear which VOB the below error message refers to. 
db.m:146 DB__WRONG_SERVER "Process not running on registry specified hostname (%s)\n". 
Also prints redundant error messages in db_server log. 


   Fix: To be more specific, vob path name is added in the error message and also added check against vob path name to avoid redundant error messages for each db_server instance.


CS0139156:

   Problem: Excessive output in lad_log with "Error: Operation "sysutl_user_to_sid" failed:"

   Fix: Now for an invalid user the error message is printed only one time in the lad_server log.


PH14405:

   Problem: lad_server.exe(152696): Error: Operation "sysutl_user_to_sid" failed: NT after enabling the async license daemon 
  Reported above error when user sid type is one of the group accounts. Also lad_server log can be overly verbose and grows dangerously quickly with this error.

   Fix: Group accounts no longer cause the lad_server to fail.


PH20838:

   Problem: While creating a view with NFS mount point - specifically with extended host path name, host path name was not captured correctly. Hence, the view creation used to fail with incomplete host path name.


   Fix: Updated the parsing logic function to populate the host path name completely with which now the view creation succeeds.


PH24953:

   Problem: Cleartool commands prompting for comments will not respond to ctrl-c, sigpipes, etc., until after comment is completely supplied

   Fix: Cleartool signal handling was corrected.


PH27637:

   Problem: Infocenter page on MVFS settings for samba significantly out of date.

   Fix: The "Configuring Rational ClearCase to support Samba" topic has been updated in the help that installs with ClearCase 9.1 and in IBM Knowledge Center for ClearCase 9.1.


PH27795:

   Problem: Using ClearCase clearmake and printing "time spent building with abes: ..." caused clearmake to crash and the build to abort.

   Fix: Memory is now freed after printing.


PH27887:

   Problem: In ClearCase 8.0.x version, when a user tries to check in or cancel checkout for views already open though editor, a warning dialog message were displayed saying “The file is currently open for edit…”. But, in ClearCase 9.0.x, this features were not available

   Fix: These  features are now available in ClearCase 9.0.x version.


PH29893:

   Problem: "Show File Status.." dialog crashes if there is a hidden folder

   Fix: The dialog no longer crashes. 


PI08032:

   Problem: Vob container's location dbid status was handled properly when a 'checkvob -fix' is done to fix a deleted container status. Due to which error occurred during database dumping process of 'reformatvob'.

   Fix: Updated the container's status handling logic with which now 'reformatvob' is dumping and loading database successfully.


PI41286:

   Problem: During findmerge, file elements are checked repeatedly in directory passes as well, considering it as a directory, because initially all VOB elements are marked as "not a file".
Hence, an error message is printed repeatedly due to the repetitive attempt of searching the file.


   Fix: Marked the file element at the initial stage with which now file elements are checked only once in file pass.


PI97705:

   Problem: Cleartool rmver command execution validates for interested version before deleting the selected version. However, similar validation was missing while executing rmbranch command.

   Fix: Cleartool rmbranch command execution now validates for any existing baseline in the branch and the command execution does not proceed if any baseline version is found on the branch.


ph26821:

   Problem: When using the legacy Clearcase gui to run a describe on a ClearCase element on Solaris 11.x the window is not bought up and the command fails silently.



   Fix: The script used to implement the legacy Clearcase gui describe command was fixed.
