1363.0. "DECW EFT2 crashes easily...backward step?" by LARVAE::BULLARD () Mon Sep 04 1989 12:54

/*	The following program seems to blow Decwindows away.Sometimes the
system hangs when the program starts or if you move the windows,resize or
expose them (you have to play around for a short while to generate activity).
When the system hangs there is a lot of disk activity and the screen clears
if you hit the control key.The system then requires a DECW$STARTUP to 
get it back.
	I am using Decwindows EFT 2.0 on VMS 5.2.The link date for the
server is 7-JUL-1989,the image file is DECW T2.0-FT1 and the linker id is
05-05. I am running on a Vaxstation 2000 with 6MB of memory (I have seen 
the same problem on a VS3100 with 8Mb).                        
        The problem does not occur on Decwindows version 1 nor does the 
problem occur if you quickly iconify the Decterm window after kicking the
program off.I am not working as part of the official test program but I am
doing some work for a customer to test some problems he was having with 
version 1,which have all been fixed.I am worried that this new version
is less usable than version 1 and I would like to ensure that engineering
are aware of the problem.I have attached the decw$server log which results.
	The command file to build the program is as follows:-

$cc 'p1'
$define/nolog c$include decw$examples.decw$include,sys$library
$define/nolog vaxc$include c$include
$link  'p1',sys$input/opt
sys$share:decw$xlibshr/share
sys$share:vaxcrtl/share
sys$share:decw$dwtlibshr/share        */
