This bug caused BACKUP to disable the tape cache on devices which support that feature. The bug still exists in VMS 5.2, so I tracked down the new location resulting in the following patch: $patch sys$sysdevice:[vms$common.sysexe]backup insert/instruction 126b9='movl #40004, b^74(sp)' 'bbc #15, b^4(sp), SKIP' 'bicl #20000, b^4(sp)' 'SKIP: nop' exit update The previous addresses of this code were: insert/inst 109F5 = 'movl #40004, B^74(sp)' and insert/inst 10a05 = 'movl #40004, b^74(sp)' Chris Ho, USC-UCS
