Chapter 3 Late-Breaking Solaris Runtime Issues

This chapter describes known runtime problems. You may also want to refer to the online runtime_bugs file in the SUNWrdm package on the Solaris 7 3/99 CD for additional runtime problems.

The information in this chapter supplements any information listed in the runtime_bugs file that is part of the SUNWrdm package on the Solaris 7 3/99 CD. If you boot from the Solaris 7 3/99 CD, the runtime_bugs file is located in the directory:

/cdrom/sol_7_399_x86/s2/Solaris_2.7/Docs/release_info/C

The default installed location for the runtime_bugs file is the directory:

/usr/share/release_info/Solaris_2.7/C

The name of this product is Solaris 7 but code and path or package path names may use Solaris 2.7 or SunOS 5.7. Always follow the code or path as it is written.
