3584.0. "Floating Arithmetic divide by zero errors" by ENDTMS::CZARNECKI (Rich Czarnecki 566-4818 Gal. 6:7-8) Tue Aug 18 1992 13:38

    I had the following problem yesterday with DECmcc/VMS 5.5/Motif on a
    VAXstation 4000-60.  Using the Phase IV autoconfigutation application
    to discover/register nodes, the application would terminate with a
    floating arithmetic divide by zero fault.  This was consistent whether
    I used the entire 225+ node network or just terminated on myself and
    found one node.  Is VMS 5.5 having a problem?  Motif? DECmcc?

	QAR 3313 reports this same problem. There is no answer yet.
3584.2	Seems ok w/DECwindows	ENDTMS::CZARNECKI	Rich Czarnecki 566-4818 Gal. 6:7-8	`Tue Aug 18 1992 15:18`	5
	I duplicated the same environment on my 3100-48, but I am using DECwindows rather than Motif. This problem doesn't occur under these conditions. Motif???? BTW...note 3456/QAR 3313=exact problem I am seeing.
3584.3	Update to basenote	ENDTMS::CZARNECKI	Rich Czarnecki DTN 566-4818 Ps. 1:1	`Tue Sep 22 1992 14:00`	14
	As a follow up to the original problem: Re-installed VMS 5.5-1 and DECwindows (rather than DW-Motif). DECmcc reacts exactly the same way. By the way, the platform is a dedicated VAXstation 4000-60 with 2 RZ25's and 32 meg of memory. DECmcc is the only application running on the system. As this _was_ a demo site, both the prospective customer AND us DEC'ies are concerned about progress toward a fix. As a last resort, I am going to re-install DECmcc BMS from my own known good distribution tapes, just to rule out a hack in the tapes. Then....? Rich
3584.4	Make it a Level 1 router	ENDTMS::CZARNECKI	Rich Czarnecki DTN 566-4818 Ps. 1:1	`Fri Sep 25 1992 20:23`	11
	After much 'fiddling' around with VMS versions/Motif, etc., a co-worker of mine mentioned something about making the node which runs DECmcc into a level 1 router. PRESTO! Just changing that caused it to work. Interesting??
