These errors disappear on a node which has been loaded with some sort of patch tape, but the (limited) info I have seen on the patch tape does not identify any patches likely to correct this sort of behaviour, which I think is probably due to an error in the run-time libraries. (These are all Pascal applications). Has anyone else seen this or heard anything from Apollo on this? The patch tape seems to have corrected the problem, but I need more information so that I can tell our customers that they need patch so-and-so to ensure proper operation.
