6.13 Librarian Utility—PGFLQUOTA Should Exceed 23000 (Alpha Only)
To work around this problem, run the compression, data reduction, or data
expansion operation in an account with a PGFLQUOTA process quota greater
than 23000. In addition, ensure that your command procedures check the return
status from the LIBRARY command.
6.14 Linker Utility
The following sections describes release notes pertaining to the Linker Utility.
6.14.1 Problem with Linker Utility—Omits Solitary Attribute
V7.3
The Linker utility shipped with OpenVMS Alpha Version 7.3 omits the solitary
attribute specified in an option file, causing solitary program sections not to be
solitary. The resulting image may be corrupted. No error message is displayed
during the link operation.
The following TIMA kit addresses this problem:
DEC-AXPVMS-VMS73_LINKER-V0100–4.PCSI
This kit will be available at the end of June 2001, from the following location:

6.14.2 Linker Utility—Limit of 25 Elements on Stack
V7.2
Developers who are creating object files should be aware that the linker’s internal
stack is guaranteed for only 25 elements. Any calculations must be done within
this constraint.
6.15 LTDRIVER—CANCEL SELECTIVE Cannot Cancel
IO$_TTY_PORT Functions
V6.1
In releases prior to OpenVMS Version 6.1, LTDRIVER did not set the "extended
DDT" bit; therefore, the POSIX function CANCEL SELECTIVE did not work with
LTDRIVER. This problem has been corrected, but a restriction remains.
Although this fix allows $QIO reads and writes to be selectively canceled,
any $QIO done to the port driver (that is, with the IO$_TTY_PORT function
modifier—like a LAT connect $QIO) cannot be canceled with CANCEL
SELECTIVE.
6.16 MACRO–32 Compiler for OpenVMS Alpha (Alpha Only)
See Chapter 8 for a number of notes that concern the MACRO–32 compiler.
6.17 Mail Utility—Threads Restriction for Callable Mail
V7.1
OpenVMS callable mail routines are not thread-safe. Refer to the Guide to
POSIX Threads Library for more information about calling non-thread-safe
routines within a threaded application.
