1245.0. "Internal debugger error with DECwindows and debugger" by COORS::R_WILLIAMS () Tue Aug 08 1989 21:38

    I have a customer who is having a hard time with the DEBUGGER and
    DECwindows.  His errors follow:
    
Running VMS T5.2-41S, the following error is returned from the debugger
via a SET DISPLAY/CREATE/TRANS=DECNET.

He is trying to run a 5 line C program in the debugger from an 8550 to a 
workstation 3100.

X Toolkit Warning: DwtIdb__BM_GetRecord detected error Invalid record header - 
Validation failure (DRMNotValid)
%DEBUG-E-INTERR, internal debugger error in DBGDWGEN\DBG$INITIALIZE_DECWINDOWS
 -  error fetching main window widget
%NONAME-W-NOMSG, Message number 00000000

His virtualpagecnt is 600,000.
    
    Any ideas?

I spoke with customer again and he states that his error has nothing
to do with system versions.  They got rid of their field test systems
and are now running SDC 5.2 VMS.  He did find out some interesting
facts about this problem:

It does not work on the systems where he has virtualpagecnt set at 600,000.
It will work ok on systems with 100,000 or less virtualpagecnts.  The 2
sytems that have virtualpagecnts of 600,000 have memories of 160meg
and 32 meg.  They have very large applications and they need to keep
those two systems up with virtualpagecnts of 600,000.


    Any ideas with these new revelations?
