==============================
                ****************************************
                **              WARNING               **
                ****************************************
If your hub CMS maintenance level is between the 8331 fixpack (v350_kms2352a)
and the 8337 fixpack (v350_kms3220a), Candle requires that this maintenance
level be installed on the hub CMS first. This requirement is independent of the
platform the hub runs on.

There are no issues if the hub is below that level; if that is the case, then
remote CMSs can be upgraded before the hub

The maintenance can be applied to the hub in conjunction with all the remotes
as long as the hub is the first CMS started.

PROBLEM RECORD:
   1. SR1-43134416
   2. SR1-57198484
   3. SR1-57487961


USER_SYMPTOM:
    1. System Commands and Emitter requests terminate with
       end code *PROBLEM reason *TIMED OUT
    2. CMS Slows down or hangs.
    3. Simultaneous or sequential access list distributions
       do not work properly and custom MSL adds not
       implemented to add distributions


PROBLEM_DESC:
    1. The request and response threads were not synchronized
       allowing a response to arrive before the request
       thread had finished initializing the request
       structure. As a result, the response was discarded
       causing the request to time out.
    2. File flush on WINNT causing hangs and slowdowns since
       new Security updates from Microsoft applied.
    3. Access list I/O was not serialized causing overlapping
       results and missing code to handle custom MSL managed
       system adds


RESOLUTION:
    1. Prior to sending a request to the data server, the
       request thread acquires a lock which blocks the
       response thread. The request thread releases the lock
       once the request structure is properly initialized.
    2. Eliminated unneeded call to file flush call in KFA
       DeleteHeldRecord for Windows platform only.
    3. Serialized access list, provided work queue
       implementation for notification to order and not miss
       event notifications, and added code to support custom
       MSL adds.
