  ERROR DESCRIPTION:
  Customer reports a performance problem when backing up a
  filespace where AV software is active. A trace with
  INSTR_CLIENT_DETAIL for filesystem with AV inactive shows:
  Process Dirs        0.485          242.5              2
  this value compares to the following reported when AV active:
  Process Dirs        0.844          422.0              2
  (sample values from this customer only, you will see
  significantly higher Process Dirs value compared to AV off)


  LOCAL FIX:
  Development provided 4.1.2 client based fixtest modules
  available form ftp.de.ibm.com/fromibm/aix as
  01920.fixtest.412modules.zip
  .
  Please copy the original files before replacing them with
  the files from this package.

  *    programs.                                                 *
  ****************************************************************
  * PROBLEM DESCRIPTION: Backup performance may be noticeably    *
  *    slower if an anti-virus program is also running.          *
  ****************************************************************
