3. Problems Fixed by this Patch
-----------------------------------------------------------

Under certain conditions Real-Time Testing may write to
erroneous memory locations on the target platform when
writing to variable values.

  - When the real-time application has an older file date
    than a formerly by the Real-Time Testing generated
    .trz file, the .trz file won't be generated again. In 
    this case the two files may be inconsistent which
    leads to erroneous variable accesses.

Prevent problems during AccessBoard(), if more than 15 
processor boards are registered at the device driver:

      -	If a processor board with a board index of 16 and 
        above is accessed, command server problems are 
        reported in the dSPACE.log (“CMD error: Service 
        not initialized” or “CMD error: Service timeout”) 
        and the AccessBoard() method returns with an 
        unknown hardware error.
        Use "dcont /l" or "dcontn /l" to see, if your 
        system contains a board index above 15.
      -	If the problem occurs, the effect on the real-time 
        system is unpredictable (exception, reboot, etc.).
