Patch PE82-1501280
------------------

Platforms: All

* Fixed a numeric overflow in a verbose message. The summary message
  indicating the total amount of reclaimed disk space was limited to
  32 bit (4 GB).

  Any larger values were truncated, caused by an intermediate overflow
  when calculating the summary value.

  This did not effect on the correct function.


Patch PE82-1410150
------------------

Platforms: All

* Fixed a defect that could result in dbrepack aborting with the
  message below (#4195):

  Assertion failed: new_recno != 0
  panic: Aborting on internal failure, file quick_fill_gap.c, line 878

  Depending on the number of records and deleted records one entry
  of the internal record map could become corrupted, resulting in
  a failed consistency test.

* Improved dbrepack scalability on large databases. The dbrepack
  algorithm was refined to improve performance with large data sets.

Platforms: Windows

* A separate 64-bit build of the dbrepack64 utility is installed
  on 64-bit Windows systems. The 64-bit dbrepack64 utility is
  required to repack data sets that exceed 1.5 billion records.
  The 32-bit dbrepack utility may fail due to address space
  limitations.

Platforms: HP-UX, Linux

* The dbrepack utility is installed as a 64-bit binary on 64-bit
  systems. This allows repacking data sets that exceed 1.5 billion
  records. The 32-bit dbrepack utility may fail due to address space
  limitations.
