2125.0. "Logged off!" by HXOU01::THOMPSON () Wed Jan 24 1990 09:24

    I have posted entry 2081 regarding being logged off when I try to
    Capture a Portion of the Screen.   My feeling is that the Capture
    Portion of Screen is not the major cause of the error, and that other
    activities have a similar effect.
    
    Has anyone had the same problem (been suddenly logged off) and determined
    the cause or known where to look to troubleshoot.  My only alternative
    seems to be to reinstall DECwindows, which would also mean reinstalling
    DECwrite and DECdecision and I would like to do this as a last resport.
    
    Thanks for any suggestions,
    Susan

2125.1Image accounting?AGBEAR::HORNERA.G.Bear, Old fashion teddy bearWed Jan 24 1990 12:274
    Perhaps you could enable image accounting and see if you can get any
    hints from the termination status values as to what's happening.

    The printscreen function is part of the session manager application.
    There are bugs in this function that can cause the session manager
    image to exit with an access violation. Because the session manager
    controls workstation security, when it exits it always asks the
    server to disconnect all clients and force a new login. Thus a 
    relative minor bug in a function like printscreen can terminate
    your entire session. 
    
    Several printscreen problems were fixed in VMS V5.3. If you are
    still seeing this with V5.3 please file a QAR.
