=============
Current patch
=============
Description:
When submitting a backup or restore request from the NetWare server
(via bp.nlm) and no log file is specified, the NetWare server may
abend. The abend only happens when there is a problem submitting
the request. If the request get submitted successfully, the NetWare
server will not abend.
Workaround:
Always specify a log file when submitting the backup or restore request.
Description:
During backups, bpcd.nlm would abend due to insufficient stack size -
the stack pointer was greater than the stack limit.
This increases the stack size used by bpcd.nlm on NetWare 4.x and 5.x.
