LFDS detection tool LFDSDET will be run as the post                             
installation job for this patch. Because of this, the

If the customer is currently running on C.10.03 (applicable to 7.5 only)        
and has existing LFDS databases then they should download the                   
LFDS detection tool & take appropriate action before                            
installing this patch.

In DBUTIL, during the creation of a jumbo dataset with Netbase 10.x             
enabled, file system error occurred and stopped the creation of                 
database. But, the database can be created if Netbase is                        
disabled during the creation.                                                   
                                                                                
Cause

A variable being used in NMDBMAINT is not initialized in all cases.             
Changes from Netbase 9 to 10 mean a different area of stack is                  
being used, and the variable is no longer set to the default                    
value on return to NMDBMAINT.                                                   
                                                                                
Fix

The variable is initialized to 0 to overcome the error. Two other               
uninitialized variables are also initialized to avoid such future               
problems.
