Patch-ID# 100071-01 Keywords: libsuntools file descriptors 64 256 Synopsis: Sunview does not support 256 file descriptors. Date: 17-May-90 SunOS release: 4.1 Unbundled Product: Unbundled Release: Topic: BugId's fixed with this patch: 1038313 Architectures for which this patch is available: sun3 sun4 Obsoleted by: Problem Description: This patch fixes a bug in the libsuntool library. The problem this patch fixes is the 64 file descriptors limit under sunview applications. In O.S. 4.1 the system hard limit is 256 file descriptors and this patch would allow the use of all the file descriptors in the sunview application. Fix description: This patch includes 3 suntool libraries you need to replace on your system : libsuntool.a libsuntool.sa.0.50 libsuntool.so.0.50 Install instructions: Please read the following instructions carefully before you load the tape. Don't run sunview while doing the following procedures 1. cd /tmp (You'll need 2MB disk space for the installation, if you don't have this disk space in the partition /tmp is located please choose another directory that would fit this disk space need) 2. Extract the files from tape : (The tar command is one unix command eventhough it is printed on two different lines in this README file). For sun4 users: tar -xvf /dev/rst0 libsuntool.a-sun4 libsuntool.sa.0.50-sun4 libsuntool.so.0.50-sun4 README For sun3/3x users: tar -xvf /dev/rst0 libsuntool.a-sun3 libsuntool.sa.0.50-sun3 libsuntool.so.0.50-sun3 README 3. cd /usr/lib 4. mv libsuntool.a libsuntool.a.SAVE mv libsuntool.sa.0.50 libsuntool.sa.0.50.SAVE mv libsuntool.so.0.50 libsuntool.so.0.50.SAVE 5. For sun4 users: mv /tmp/libsuntool.a-sun4 libsuntool.a mv /tmp/libsuntool.sa.0.50-sun4 libsuntool.sa.0.50 mv /tmp/libsuntool.so.0.50-sun4 libsuntool.so.0.50 For sun3/3x users: mv /tmp/libsuntool.a-sun3 libsuntool.a mv /tmp/libsuntool.sa.0.50-sun3 libsuntool.sa.0.50 mv /tmp/libsuntool.so.0.50-sun3 libsuntool.so.0.50 6. start sunview (in case of troubles restore the original libraries by cp/mv the lib*.SAVE version onto the real libraries name)
