+o The Globetrotter FLEXlm Release Notes can now be viewed
using _r_e_l_n_o_t_e_s(_1) and _g_r_e_l_n_o_t_e_s(_1). These release
notes can be found in chapter 7 of this release note.
+o The FlexLM licensing code uses the stdio functions
(_f_o_p_e_n(), _f_g_e_t_s(), etc). In some circumstances, a
process may have more open file descriptors than will
fit in a FILE structure (field __f_i_l_e; see
/usr/include/stdio.h for details). If this happens
before the licensing calls, acquiring the license will
fail with the message:
Cannot find license file (-1,212:2) No such file or
directory
The only solution is to reduce the number of file
descriptors in use when licensing calls are made. In
practice this is only a problem with the O32 (5.3
compatible) ABI, which uses an _u_n_s_i_g_n_e_d _c_h_a_r to hold
the file descriptor (fd<=255).
