It is suggested that all users install this patch.

----------------------------------------------------------
This patch fixes the following:

Defect RATLC02332131:

Fixed a number of issues mostly having to do with debugging core files
on LynxOs 5.0:
- byte order problems preventing any meaningful core file debugging
- list_tasks didn't list all of the tasks when debugging core files
- object_display wasn't displaying anything when debugging core files
- stack usage output always said 100% stack usage

----------------------------------------------------------
The following were fixed in earlier patches. The fixes are
included in this patch as well.

Defect RATLC00150479:

This patch provides Apex 4.4.0 Ada tools for Linux to LynxOS PowerPC
ELF. This includes fully patched lxe_ppc tools for the previously
supported Linux to LynxOS 4.0.0/4.2.0 operating systems, plus new lxe5_ppc
runtimes supporting Linux to LynxOS 5.0.0.

Defect RATLC00153203:

omf_interface.ss/obj_load.c (obj_elf_d history) had a hard coded limit of 200
characters on a buffer variable used for pathnames. All the other similar buffers seemed to have a limit of 1000.

Defect RATLC00154833:

When tasking was involved the debugger was not changing the task context properly
when trying to find the source context of where the exception was raised.
This patch also fixes a number of byte reversal problems.
