If you call DEC and have problems getting the patch for "the security
problem mentioned at DECUS/comp.os.vms", tell them you want ECO
numbers 3, 4, and 5 for image SYS$LIBRARY:SECURESHR.EXE.

Now, the question. Has anyone else applied the above patch? If so, did
you find that programs that use the patched routines need to be relinked?
Better yet, did you run into any problems at all?

I had to relink gnuemacs; I believe the "access violation" error came
from a call to the C routine getenv which I think does a getuai system call.
