I don't know if DEC has every really acknowledged or explained the problem,
however a patch was made available for Ultrix 3.1/3.1a that was supposed to
have fixed the problem.  The patch did not appear appropriate for 3.1c, and
I don't know if same problem exists in 3.1c/3.1d. I'd assume that it is
fixed in 4.0.

Maybe you'll get a response from one of the people who applied the patch.

I'd also suggest checking with the support center...
