2883.0. "DECW$EXAMPLES:PLAID mucks up the system?" by DIODE::CROWELL (Jon Crowell) Wed Jun 06 1990 01:47

    
    System:  VS3100/SPX, 16MB,  VMS5.3-2
    
    I tried running the DECW$EXAMPLES:PLAID.EXE demo program
    and had my system lock up;  eg.  Mouse would move but
    couldn't ^Y the program.   The demo screen was doing its
    thing like mad.
    
    I was able to set host to the system, suspend the process 
    that was running the PLAID demo and then ^Y the program 
    from its window.
    
    Later (tonight) I noticed that the SERVER_0 process was 
    stuck in a tight loop soaking up 100% of the CPU time.
    
    After I re-booted the system it ran fine.  I wasn't able
    to take a crash-dump while it was sick since I'm home.  
    I can try it some time later and if it does the same 
    thing I can get a dump if anyone is interested.
