2982.0. "Debugger: Processes hang in MUTEX and RWAST state " by FRSTSC::AURAND () Fri Jun 22 1990 12:12

Hi everybody !

A customer of us has a strange problem with the DECwindow debugger using the
SET DISPLAY command under VMS v5.2-1.
After starting the program at the client everything works fine and the 	
appropriate windows appear at the server's screen. But after a while the 
debug and the file view windows crash and the client system displays a lot of 
processes in state MUTEX (vue$username_2, vue$username_3, username_1 and 
NET_24792) and one process in state RWAST (vue$username_7). 
Looking deeper inside the system shows that the processes currently hanging 
in MUTEX have not enough BYTLM quota and that the corresponding link to the
process NET_24792 is in closed state.
The customer told me that he knows the problem with the BYTLM, but if he
increases the BYTLM the debugging session will nevertheless fail.

So it seems to me that the decwindows debugger allocate a lot of nonpaged
dynamic memory and never releases it.

  Any ideas ??????????????????????????????????????????

Try asking in the TURRIS::DEBUG conference.  The DEBUG team watches that
file more closely than this one.
