1774.0. "lmx.browser core dump" by YAKKA::KINGSMILL (Geoff Kingsmill, Australia) Wed Mar 05 1997 17:07

I have a Pathworks V6.1-ECO2 server where lmx.browser writes a core dump.
Any ideas?

Thanks,
Geoff..

	hi Geoff, Is it reproducible at will ? Is the pathworks server license server ? and can other browser exist on your domain ? Jean-Pierre

	Is it reproducible at will ? YES Is the pathworks server license server ? YES but fails the same if disabled and can other browser exist on your domain ? YES
1774.3	tuning?	YAKKA::KINGSMILL	Geoff Kingsmill, Australia	`Fri Mar 07 1997 07:56`	6
	This machine is on easynet so browser finds a LOT of domains. Is there any tuning parameters that might affect lmx.browser. In any case lmx.browser should not core dump. Thanks, Geoff..

	Geoff, I can say for the moment what is the pb. But you can try 2 things for me 1/ there is a NT tools call Browser monitor you could use to see who is the master browser, how many domain the master browser has and the other browser in the domain. You can start/stop PWKS Unix browser (net start browser) and look at the monitor. ( This tool is either in NT351 and NT40 ressource kit. ) 2/ I will really appreciate if you can dowgrade in ECO1 and see if the same. Since I have a machine in Easynet using the 3 transports and lmx.browser has never crashed I suspect the ECO2 bug fixes. Ok lmx.browser does not ever run correctly but never crashes. Thanks, Jean-Pierre

Good thought, but the problem also exists in ECO1. Thanks, Geoff..

	Hi If you use multiple transport you can try to disable one after one and see if lmx.browser continues. If it does not help Could you put the server in debug mode and save the Debug-xxxx somewhere we can have a look. (may be time for a CLD...) Jean-Pierre

It doesn't matter, lmx.browser always cores. < If it does not help Could you put the server in debug mode < and save the Debug-xxxx somewhere we can have a look. Nothing very useful. Thanks, Geoff..
