Error description
Communications Server for AIX ----------------------------- Hang in kernel lock error on AIX 6.1.
Local fix
Problem summary
USERS AFFECTED: All users on AIX 6.1. This hang is triggered during the initial load of the CS/AIX kernel drivers, when an attempt to create a kernel lock fails due to a call to xmalloc for some memory from the pinned_heap failed. When CSAIX attempts to report the error, the error reporting code assumed that the kernel lock was available for use. Attempting to use the lock caused the hang.
Problem conclusion
The error reporting code has been modified to not use the locks when the error is about the locks. In this case, it will instead use the system errpt to report the initialization error.
Temporary fix
