I didn't. It follows here, redactions reconstructed (I assume djarvis@

Dave,All

Thanks for your mail. It is a familiar issue, and I found that=20
this was already raised in ERN 54
http://www.opengroup.org/austin/aardvark/finaltext/xshbug.txt

Basically, in the 1997 edition, the system interface page and the system
header page had different prototypes, and these were reviewed
at that time and it was agreed to correct the synopsis=20
to be consistent with the header.

The decision was taken before to reject ERN 54 in finaltext...

regards
Andrew
