FIXED:  the ecc algorithm in kernel/sys/dev/hp.c
       The ecc algorithm in hpecc() is not correct.  The corrections
needed are:

       diff kernel/sys/dev/hp.c.old kernel/sys/dev/hp.c
       434a435
       >     ocmd = (rp->hpcs1.w&~DRY)|IE|GO;
       450c451
       b_bcount && wrong!=0 )
       ---
       >       while( 0<=BYTE BYTE<BP- &&>b_bcount && (wrong<<=BIT)!=0 ) < 462D462 464C464 PUTMEMC(ADDR,GETMEMC(ADDR)^WRONG); WRONG --- <<="bit;">         putmemc(addr,getmemc(addr)^(int)wrong);
       469a470,471
       >     /*getmemc() changes pri.  might be a race.*/
       >     spl5();
       479d480
       hpcs1.w&~DRY)|IE|GO;


The changes are necessary on tapes written before 12/5/81.
