Path Name: /hp-ux_patches/s700_800/10.X/PHCO_17665

Symptoms:
	PHCO_17665:
	If the dump area is beyond 2Gb on the physical disk, the
	following error message results when savecore attempts to
	read the dump:
	savecore: seek failed <dump device>: <random error message>
	savecore: could not open dump

Defect Description:
	PHCO_17665:
	When the size of a dump device is greater than 4Gb, savecore
	cannot access the dump.  The savecore command will fail
	with:
	savecore: seek failed <dump device>: <error message>
	savecore: could not open dump
	The <error message> will tend to be random as savecore is
	reporting an error that did not really occur.

	Resolution:
	Ported the latest version of the savecore which contains
	the 10.20 patch PHCO_12822 that fixes this problem.
	Device size can now be up to 4Gb.
