2676.0. "many malloc errors in fileview" by COPPER::D_BERRY () Fri Apr 27 1990 10:13

i have a vaxstation 3500 gpx, vms v3.5

about 3-5 times a week my fileview fails with

		insufficient dynamic memory
		malloc error

at that point i cannot start any new applications, or windows...

if mail is running, the next time new mail comes, mail tells me the new mail
folder is active in another window when it is not, i have to essentially
bring down the entire session mgr and relog in again...

when is this going to be fixed???

if it is a quota problem, i would like to know what to raise. i have been told
there is nothing that can be done.  it is getting extremely annoying.

thanks in advance,
dean berry

2676.1Check VIRTUALPAGECNTSTAR::ORGOVANVince OrgovanFri Apr 27 1990 18:173
    Have you tried raising WSMAX and VIRTUALPAGECNT sysgen
    parameters on your system? You should also ask about this
    in the FILEVIEW conference on BULOVA.
2676.2DECW MAIL bugDECWIN::KLEINMon Apr 30 1990 13:554
This is a DECwindows MAIL bug and has (apparently) been fixed for DECwindows
V3.  I don't know of any workaround in the meantime.

Actually, my workaround is to not use DECwindows MAIL.
