They claim to have fixed the problem! What I cannot figure out is how to get the fix! There is no link to a patch, and no mention of this SPR in any of the available patches on the WRS web site. So now I'm wondering how SPRs work. I guess that "fixed" means that the problem is understood, and the coding is done, and it will eventually find its way into a patch. Is that right? Or is there some other way to search the available patches to find which one contains this fix?

If you want the fix (and your support contract is current) you should be able to get it by contacting your WRS FAE. It's reasonably likely that they'll eventually release a patch on windSurf that incorporates it, but unless there's demand it might not be published until the next full vxWorks release. Given that the SPR's DATE FIXED: was less than a month ago and that there's no patch linked from the SPR it's pretty certain that no patch currently available from windSurf actually contains the fix.


How did you identify the problem at your site? I'm not sure whether we're seeing it here or not, but if we are it could help explain one of our more worrysome issues.
