[Simh] Idle problem with VAX/VMS V4.7 on Simh V3.8-0

[gerry77 at mail.com]

Hello all,

I'm a member of the Italian Hobbyist DECnet Network [1] and we are having some
problems running VAX/VMS V4.7 on Simh V3.8-0 owing to the idle function being
not effective, maybe because of some quite big internal engineering changes
among VAX/VMS releases before and after the V5.0 milestone.

Could someone here provide us with some suggestions or a workaround for this
problem? If someone is willing and able to write a patch but has no V4.7
available, we can send him a freshly installed and patched V4.7 system disk
image (just 14MB when gzip-compressed).

Thanks to everyone,
G.
