Fixed issues

• The usage message for ham has been corrected. (Ref# 18979)
• These tests in the test suite no longer report a failure:
  • bk1_genha and bk3_genha no longer fail the ha_dup test. (Ref# 20881)
  • Regression test bk2_hamcondition. (Ref# 20882)
  • HAM/CPM: (Regression) bk1_hamrestart. (Ref# 20883)
• The ham_stop_nd() function is now implemented in libham. (Ref# 23118)
• The ha_ReConnectAttach() function no longer occasionally fails with an error of EBADF (bad file number) when all the arguments are correct. (Ref# 23818)

Known issues

• If you advance the system time (e.g. by using the date utility), the HA manager thinks it's missed some heartbeats. (Ref# 22150)
• In Microsoft Windows, certain programs (e.g. Norton Ghost) add directories inside double quotation marks (e.g. ...;"c:\Program Files\Norton Ghost\";...) to your PATH environment variable. This causes the Cygwin spawn() function to fail, which in turn causes cp to fail when called by ln-w. (Ref# 20046)

  Workaround: Modify your PATH environment variable and remove any quotation marks.

Be sure to check the QNX Momentics 6.3.0 SP1 release notes for related issues.
