    I'm working with a customer whose users log into node A and then set
    host to node B to run their application which includes calls to FMS. If
    the original process on node A terminates, the process on node B goes
    into a COMpute loop until it is stopped. It loops within FDV$SHR, the
    FMS sharible library.
    
    Now for the strange part. If the users connect to node B with Telnet,
    the node B process terminates when the node A process does. And also if
    the application is run in a subprocess on node B, all node B processes
    terminate when the node A process terminates. Plus this only happens
    with one of their applications.
    
    So they've only got a problem when set host to node B and running their
    application in the node B parent process. All other combinations seem
    to work fine. This is 100% reproduceable.
    
    Does anyone have any ideas on this? It almost sounds like a
    SYS$RTTDRIVER or SYS$CTDRIVER problem.  
    
    
    Thanks,
