Release Summary 2.24
Enhancements and Fixes
Fixed a panic reported by an NCR customer: when a port reported both a break
and a parity error in the same megapoll pass, it was possible for the driver to
corrupt a pointer eventually leading to memory corruption and a system panic.
The following impact NCR multiprocessor systems only:
Removed a warning message inserted in an earlier release to confirm a sus-
pected problem and validate the file. The message will no longer be seen.
Fixed a possible infinite loop in the channel lock code.
