2827.0. "Problem with V1.2.7 - Processor crashes" by WARNUT::PURNELLR ( Life, it's not what I thought it was !) Wed Apr 22 1992 20:05

I am attempting to run V1.2.7 on a 4000 FT running
VMS X5.5-1IF.

The system was previously running V1.2.4 OK even for
demo purposes.

The upgrade appeared to be fine, and MCC_AUDIT runs clean
through with no suggestions.

MCC can be invoked through the line interface OK, but
whenever a command is invoked or the DECwindows 
presentation is selected.....the processor crashes !

Any suggestions as to where the problem lies, I shall
make a crash dump available tomorrow.

Rex,

Can I assume from your description that this crash happens when displaying
the IMPM windows on a remote workstation? If so, I have seen something very
similar with BL18. 

I suggest that if you run the IMPM from an account in the system group (ie 
[1,xxx] in the 410FT it will work.

Hope this workaround helps until the fix is available.

Paul.

Thank you for your qAR.  This problem was related to the field test version
of VMS you were running.

A bug existed in one of VMS' "find image symbol" routines which DECmcc turns
out to have been very good at exposing in certain configurations.
