APAR IY07459 on 4.3.2

  ------------------------------------------------------------------------


Description
-----------
This directory contains a emergency fix for APAR IY07459 specially built to
be installed on AIX 4.3.2 systems.

WARNING: This e-fix is not offically part of the service stream for AIX 4.3.
AIX is supported on a version and release basis. The AIX maintenance
strategy does not allow maintenance levels within a version and release of
AIX to be supported separately. For example, AIX 4.2 is supported separately
from AIX 4.3, but AIX 4.3.2 cannot be supported separately from AIX 4.3.3.
The reason for this is that he AIX installation architecture assumes that
every fileset update includes all fixes in previous updates to the same
fileset. The official fix for APAR IY07459 was first released in the
4.3.3.11 level of the devices.pci.14108e00.X11 and devices.pci.1410b800.X11
filesets. There cannot be a 4.3.2.x level update, since any update to the
devices.pci.14108e00.X11 or devices.pci.1410b800.X11 filesets between
4.3.3.0 and and 4.3.3.11 installed after this e-fix is installed would
remove the fix for APAR IY07459.

For this reason, this e-fix for APAR IY07459 is not being made available
through the normal AIX fix distribution channels. It is only being provided
at this FTP site as an emergency fix for those customers that do not feel
that they can immediately install the official fix for IY07459.
