I'm not so sure that it is included.  They don't hit all of the same
modules... 64269 hits HCPALR and HCPALU.  64297 hits HCPALS, HCPALR, and
HCPALD.   I'm pretty sure VM64269 is a prereq.

Hi Marcy,

Thanks for the info.  We go the test fix for 64297 (which they say
includes
64269) last night and we hope to get a test window this weekend...if for
nothing else but to get a dump.  But, if we can recreate it, we're gonna
try the fix after taking the dump.

Thanks again,

Leland
