1066.0. "Problems running more than 3 applications under VUE" by GIBSON::DICKENS (What are you pretending not to know ?) Wed Jul 05 1989 16:14
I have a bunch of workstations, all running V5.1-1, that display a strange
problem. You can't start more than 2 or 3 applications from within Vue.
If you try to start the 4th one, it dies, with the following message:
X Toolkit Error: Can't Open display
%DWT-F-DWTABORT, xtoolkit fatal error
It can't be a UAF quota problem, since I have the same quotas on my system
and I don't see this problem. Any idea where to look next ?
Also, on at least one of these systems, after you've got a certain number of
applications going, trying to create a terminal window from the session manager
will result in the session manager dying

| It may be global pages.

| 1066.2 | Sounds like the one we had | SEWANE::MASSEY | I left my heart in Software Services. | Thu Jul 06 1989 14:53 | 9 |
| We had almost exactly the same problem here, and the culprit was gblpages.
The funny thing was, DECwindows wouldn't catch it during startup, but it would
complain when we did a @DECW$STARTUP RESTART. And nobody could figure out how
gblpages got set so low in the first place.
AUTOGEN with FEEDBACK fixed it nicely.

| Yes, an AUTOGEN did fix it after the system had been up for a while.
