1851.0. "mcc_dna4_evl crashes with EXISTENCE-ERROR" by BIGUN::FINCH () Sun Nov 24 1991 21:58

    I am having a problem at a customer site starting the mcc_dna4_evl
    process.
    I run the startup and it creates the mcc_dna4_evl process. However it
    immediately terminates, posting. in the logfile, the error
    
    	MCC-E-EXISTENCE-ERROR , object does not exist.
    
    Looking up the meaning of the message in the manual I get:
    
    Source: Kernel
    Explanation: There was a software error within DECmcc
    User Action: Developers: check your code. End users: please contact
    your Digital representative.
    
    Great. 
    
    Has anyone come across this before, or any ideas what the actual
    problem is being caused by ?
    
    Any ideas would be welcome as I need to get this fixed.
    
    Thanks,
    Jill

1851.2Sounds like a thread problem to me.TOOK::GUERTINDon't fight fire with flamesWed Dec 11 1991 08:397
    I think this happens when something attempts to do an operation to a
    thread which does not exist.  For example, if you try to Join or Alert
    a thread and pass it a garbage thread-id, or if the thread has already
    been deleted, you could get that message.  Are saying that the DNA4_EVL
    process NEVER runs, or occassionally terminates with this error?

    is the dna4_evl process even running? Also have you check the startup
    log file to see if you got an error?
