Description

Description:
This patch corrects a defect in the RV transport tracking mechanism of the
InConcert client library.  In Windows this could cause a crash in the inconcert.dll
while in UNIX you could run out of file handles.

In the original implementation, InConcert client connections for which RV
transport parameters are not specified receive a handle to a unique RV transport
instance at the time an InConcert session is initialized.  This behavior leads
to an eventual critical failure on all platforms.

InConcert clients explicitly declaring RV parameters either within the
environment or within custom code are NOT adversely affected by this flaw.

This patch corrects the behavior so that InConcert clients that omit RV
parameters are returned a handle to a single RV transport.

Individuals downloads of the modify files are avilable for win32 and UNIX (Solaris, Linux, HPUX and AIX)
