                     Version 5, Release 3, Modification 5.2

-------------------------------- ATTENTION ----------------------------------

                This is an interim fix (patch) level 5.3.5.2
     It is intended to provide  relief for critical problems where a local
     circumvention is unavailable.

     A limited amount of testing has been done to verify the fixes.
     Consequently, we strongly recommend that you perform additional
     testing before putting the package into a production environment.

     These fixes will be tested further by IBM Tivoli Storage Management
     and included in the next Maintenance / Fixpack Level.
