Description Michael K. Johnson 2002-06-20 16:13:41 UTC 
There is the potential for RAID5 data corruption due to miscompilation
in xor.h.  We don't have reports of corruption that are necessarily
attributable to this bug; it may never trigger.  However, this change
should not affect the API and so should be included in the next AS
errata release as a potential data security fix without API change.
