1101.0. "Calculator stack dumps, %SYSTEM-F-ACCVIO" by SHRFAC::SMITH () Wed Jul 12 1989 18:24

The Calculator is stack dumping on me when I invoke it.  The calculator was 
performing properly until a power failure crashed my system.  The file is not 
corrupt - I checked it VIA analyize & have copied it to another workstation 
which called it up correctly.  After stopping & restarting the DECwindows I
was able to start it with no problem.  Now this afternoon it died on me again
with the following dump:

	(the message mask=04 came up as mask=05 each time I tried 
		to invoke it prior to restarting the windows)


Calendar [debug] -- last bitmap EOB misaligned; continuing ...

DB EXTEND: Eof - Bitmap size mismatch, Using EOF.
%SYSTEM-F-ACCVIO, access violation, reason mask=04, virtual address=00020000, PC

  Improperly handled condition, image exit forced.

1101.1Further information on the problem.SHRFAC::SMITHWed Jul 12 1989 18:3517
< Note 1101.0 by SHRFAC::SMITH >
                 -< Calculator stack dumps, %SYSTEM-F-ACCVIO >-

Further info. on the problem:

I have already checked to see that the user process parameters have not
changed.  Running Autogen or VPA pickup nothing on the system.

Could it be in a system parameter?  A few weeks ago the DECterm's disappeared
on me.  There was no trace in the log files etc. When I created a new DECterm
(didn't quit out of the current window session) it started with DECterm 1, not
4 or 5 where I would have expected it to start.

Could this be related?

1101.2GBLSECTIONS & GBLPAGES perhaps?RAINBO::HARRISRepeal the law of gravity: Juggle!Sat Jul 15 1989 17:164
    I had similar problems Thursday when trying to start DECterm.  I lost
    the session manager with an access violation.  It turned out that I was
    too low on the SYSGEN parameters GBLSECTIONS & GBLPAGES.

1101.3Hardware problemSHRFAC::SMITHTue Jul 18 1989 16:158
Colorado spent 2+ hours on the phone with me this am.  They're confident it's a
hardware (CPU) problem since it has worked off & on over the past week.  Works
when it wants...  I've called Fiels Service.

This should be the end of it.
