Patch PE80-0912281
------------------

Platforms: All

* Performing a recovery after an abort of the database server could 
  in rare cases lead to inconsistent data set meta information (#3909).

  After an abnormal termination, the database server (or the dblogreset
  utility) perform a startup recovery. During this process, a special
  forward-log "bridge" segment is created that allows a dbrecover to
  continue across the previous abnormal termination.

  Applying this bridge segment with dbrecover could in rare cases
  incompletely update the data set meta information.
