--------------------------------
Symantec Incident : 1476158
Symptom:
        False concurrency violation errors are seen in engine_A.log
        when Sybase resource comes online not initiated by VCS 
        Negative pid is seen in Sybase agent logs.
Defect Description:
	Sybase Agent incorrectly reports the resource online when Sybase 
        kernel error message is received and this results in concurrency 
        violation errors. The process id for Sybase processes is seen 
        negative in Sybase agent logs. 
Resolution:
	Now the problem is fixed by checking the number of argumentes 
        matched by sscanf. proc_pid pointer is de-referenced so that 
        it correctly print process id.
