Dear SCO Customer,

Support Level Supplement (SLS) ptf7625b, the UnixWare 7.1.0 and 7.1.1 
cpio Supplement, addresses the issue below. 

ptf7625a addresses these problems:

  Attempting 'cpio - p' on a large file can result in mmap() consuming 
  all the physical memory, forcing the system to begin swapping and forcing
  ReliantHA to fail over.

  SLS ptf7625a modifies the -p option of cpio to allow the command to mmap
  in 8MB chunks.

ptf7625b only adds the option of installing in quiet mode.
