Fix yet for paging algorithm in MIPS Ultrix?

A few months ago there was some discussion in this group about a bug
in the paging algorithm of the MIPS version of Ultrix.  Reports were
that the bug tended with a frequency that varied more or less inversely
with the amount of memory in the machine.  Word also was that the bug
seemed to be fairly well-known, but the DEC wasn't moving very fast toward
acknowledging it.

Does anyone know if a fix for this bug is now available?  What DEC's
position is on it?

Please email any responses to me at the address below.  Our newsfeed
has been acting up lately, and I'm afraid I might miss any responses
that are posted.

Thanks in advance.
