In an earlier posting Claude Barbe suggested a patch to a shared image
of a large DBMS package.  The fix was in the right direction but was
not quite correct.  The patch that worked for our site is as follows:

	$ ana/image iisysserv.exe
			.
			.
		global section major id: %X'03', minor id: %X '01'
			.
			.
		system version (major/minor): 72.5321304
		system version array empty
			.
			.
	$! the major and minor ids are not the problem causing the ident
	$! mismatch. The system version is. The long word in the image header
	$! following the major and minor id needs to be changed to zero.
	$!
	$ patch/abso iisysserv.exe
	 patch> dep 28=00000000
	 patch> update

This solved the problem for us. If the longword is set to zero then there is
no systerm version found.  This was determined from comparing CDDSHR.EXE and
UISSHR.EXE using DUMP/BLOCK=END=1.

I realize this sort of patch could be considered "playing with fire" but
we trust it will get us by until our new version arrives.
