Lines: 39 Has anyone ever seen tracebacks like this one: Process 383 (parent 288, group 0) Time 91/02/28.19:09(MET) Program /etc/inetd Status 03010002: process had a fatal error (process manager/process manager) In routine "/sys/node_data.a0b0/systmp/global_readonly" offset 363A Called from "pgm_$exec_uid_pn" line 1450 Called from "pgm_$exec_xoid_pn" line 1287 Called from "execve" line 224 Called from "execv" line 146 Called from "main" line 382 Called from "unix_$main" line 114 Called from "" line 31999 Called from "PM_$CALL" line 176 Called from "pgm_$load_run" line 903 Called from "pgm_$invoke_uid_pn" line 1124 This is the result of my trying to telnet, rsh or rlogin to a SR10.3 DN3000 (they all leave a tracebcak identical to the above). Interestingly, telnet to the node opens a connection (accepting the connection is done by the primordial inetd, right?) and the connection just stays open with nothing happening on it. I have reason (empirically) to believe that this is related to the fact that someone is presently logged in on the node and has oodles of X clients displaying there. And he reports no problems! When I first saw this problem, I believed it was related to my not-so-successful attempts at running X11R4 on it. But now it running vanilla HPollo-supplied software, so that is not the explanation. So do we have another O/S bug here? I love that status code! So informative... But in that other context (running X11R4), when this happened to a child of a process that duly logged everything that happened, a signal 11 (segmentation violation) was reported. - Harald Hanche-Olsen Division of Mathematical Sciences The Norwegian Institute of Technology N-7034 Trondheim, NORWAY
