Save that e-fix libnvsnmp.a somewhere BEFORE you apply 6.0.2. You have an
e-fix precisely because the problem was not fixed in current maintenance.
You will have to re-apply that e-fix after you apply 6.0.2. I don't know
what APAR number the e-fix was off-hand, but the compressed zip file you
got was named after it. If you check the 6.0.2 Release Notes you will not
find it listed among those included.

Thanks, I'll look for the "stripped down"
version in 6.0.2 or so.
