The delivery date of  PTF 6 for version 3 Novell client is January 
     15th .I spend too much time for managing memory usage and reload on 
     all Netware clients.
     
     I'm waiting for a fix as soon as possible

I received a message from IBM stating that Version 3, Release 1, Level 0.5 
had the problem fixed.  It does not.  Here is the scenario on one of our 
Novell 4.11 servers:
     
Cache Buffers
=============
Before load: 165,880,000   62% free
After load:  165,003,000   62% free
After backup: 148,066,000   55% free  ** allocated 17.5 Mb ** 
After unload: 165,728,000   62% free
After reload: 164,827,000   61% free
     
The version 3 client is NOT freeing up memory after a scheduled backup.  We 
did not have this problem with version 2 clients.
