One says that the 5.02.UC1 release of Unix servers (OnLine, SE and all ESQL products) is being put on hold due to bug 24778, which reports a memory leak in a particular function. The Alert lists 8 other related bug numbers, most of which appear concerned with memory leaks or uninitialized memory reads. A second Alert says that the 4.12.UD1 release of Unix tools (4GL, RDS, ISQL, DEBUGGER) is also being placed on hold. This Alert lists 7 bug numbers related mostly to terminal I/O.
