  Problem can be recreated by changing system clock with TIME
  command to seconds before midnight.  Within 20 seconds, error
  occurs.  Problem cannot be recreated on TCP/IP 4.0.
  

Local fix

• Disabling the default AccessReportTemplate is a workaround I
  tested and also works for customer.
   -This access report uses AccessReportTopList to generate a list
    of Top50 files.
  .
  Comment out:
  AccessReportTemplate  Top50  {
      AccessReportDescription    Top 50 most frequently requested
      AccessReportTopList        50
  }
  

Problem summary

• ****************************************************************
  * USERS AFFECTED: All.                                         *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: A protection exception occurs on OS/2   *
  *                      when running webusage.                  *
  ****************************************************************
  * RECOMMENDATION:                                              *
  ****************************************************************
  The webusage program is not checking whether the call to
  gethostbyname() is successful or not. If it is not successful,
  the code goes ahead and tries to use the resulting structure
  (whose address is zero). This results in a protection exception
  under OS/2. There are no known external symptoms on other
  platforms, but the error does exist.
  

Problem conclusion

• File WUlog.c will be changed to correctly check the success or
  failure of each call to gethostbyname().
  
  The following COMPID's are affected by these changes:
  
  5697C5800 LDGW for OS/390  Version 4.6
  5697A37L0 LDGW for OS/2    Version 4.6
  5697A43L0 LDGW for Win/NT  Version 4.6
  5697A45L0 LDGW for Solaris Version 4.6
  5697A47L0 LDGW for HP-UX   Version 4.6
  5697A74L0 LDGW for AIX     Version 4.6
  5639D54L0 LDGW for Win/95  Version 4.6
  5697D4300 LDGW for OS/390  Version 5
  
  The code changes are stored in CMVC under defects PQ17927,
  PQ17927a and PQ17927b.
