Hello, This is just a preliminary entry (I have not put in an SPR yet because I don't know what layered product to put it in under) I have a two headed VAX Station 3100/SPX (second head is monocrome) I am using 100 DPI fonts (I have a question about this but that will come later) I'm running VAXnotes V2.1 on screen 1 (the monochrome) and when I open a conference and read a note and then iconify everthing except the directory listing and then press ^Z in the directory window (to close the conference) the iconified read window is left behind. I then opened this window and used the File - Close Conference pulldown and CRASH!!! I'm trying this again as I write this note to see if I can reproduce it (but thought I would get this in first in case it did crash again). Note: I am running SSB 5.4 that I just copied over from MADRE""::SYS$KITS:[VMS054] and have installed the manditory patch. I guess at this point I am looking for suggestions as to what sort of problem this is VMS, DECwindows or VAXnotes and under which one I should file the SPR. Regards, Peter Lamb

Well, I just tried it again and this time when I tried to bring up the pull-down only VAXnotes died. It did not result in a system crash. Peter | |||||

When you say crash, do you mean literally a system bugcheck, or do you mean that the server stopped, or the window manager stopped, or something like that? If it was a system crash, do you have the dump file? If the server, we would need the server log file. It sounds like there may be two problems here...one in VAXnotes (which causes it to behave strangely when you hit ^Z in a certain state) and the other some- where in DW which sometimes causes some sort of crash.

| 3385.3 | System crash but may have been related to hwr | PJVAX::LAMB | Peter Lamb - FSG Santa Clara | Thu Oct 11 1990 12:34 | 12 |
Hi,
It was actually a system crash. However, has only happened once and
shortly after that I had to have my SPX board replaced so it may have
been hardware related. On the other hand its not the sort of thing
I do every day... deleting an iconified notes file but when I get a
chance I'll try it again and see if I can get the system to crash
again.
Regards,
Peter Lamb
