Locking table sysprocauth bug in SE 7.23UC13 - workarounds?

In yet another attempt to sort out the sum over nulls in hash joins bug (81406), tech support sent me SE 7.23UC13 on SCO Unix. This *still* contains a bug I saw a few months ago in a 7.14 patched version. Stored procedure calls fail with complaints about table sysprocauth being locked. It's recorded as bugs 33292 and 41538. I'm being driven crazy by these two: I get sent them in alternation. Has anyone a workaround for the sysprocauth locking problem? I know the workaround for the other one: heaps of nasty procedural code. What really hurts is that my company is expected to pay for this $%&* "service". -- Peter Lancashire Information Systems Specialist, Bayer plc Eastern Way, Bury St Edmunds, Suffolk, IP32 7AH, UK Tel: +44-1635-562258, Fax: +44-1635-562281 --- If all else fails, read the instructions AND the release notes.
