Would someone at HP like to shed some light on why the following patch tape was
sent to me ;-}

Why send out patches that don't do anything ?

I'd have found it quite funny if it wasn't for the fact that we need this a fix
for this urgently !

Patch Name: PHNE_0686

Patch Description: S700/Newest update to the tty subsystem for HP-UX 8.07.

    4701-057356 : When writing to a port on which bi-directional data
                  flow is taking place, the port transmission may stop,
                  the writing process will be blocked and cannot be killed,
                  and the system must be rebooted.

    4701-061135 : Heavy use of the serial ports on a series 700 may cause a
                  system panic.  This problem has only been seen using slip
                  to do high speed data transfers.  The panic is a trap type
                  15 which apears as below:

                  trap type 15, pcsq.pcoq = 0.11a1f8, isr.ior = 0.40
