Help! I have a program which creates a subprocess to run a particular
image. Sometimes, the process is created, but immediately dies. How can
I find out *why* the subprocess dies? I have specified an equivalence name
for SYS$ERROR, but I have not got a termination mailbox set up. If I read
the manual correctly, no 'reason for deletion' info gets sent to the
mailbox.
Any help will be most gratefully received! Thanks!
