I'm seeing a strange problem with PCM using the CMUserSendEvent() call
on OSF/1. I am able to duplicate the problem with a minimal program which
I will put in the reply.
Anyway, calling CMUserSendEvent() works fine the first few times it is
called. Then suddenly I see garbage in one of the fields in the event
window of C3 - in the VLIST widget either the priority or the system
cell in the last row looks corrupt. In particular if I let a few events
build up and select the Show Context for Selected Events option, return
I return to the VLIST the source cell is corrupt.
On the 4th or 5th call to CMUserSendEvent() it hangs for about 10
seconds before returning 203 or 204. At this point one of the C3 windows
disappears and I find console_ensd has core dumped.
I initially thought there was a bug in my code but I've duplicated with
a minimal program.

I've just returned to this problem and I'm still baffled. The test
program in the previous reply still causes console_ensd to crash if I
run it a few times. I have removed everything else from the equation
except for the test program and PCM V1.3 on OSF/1 V2.0. I have also
verified the database in else that was the problem.
Any ideas,
Alan.

Alan, I have reproduced this, It looks like a trick one so it could take some time to fix. Cheers, Phil | |||||

Found it, Fixed it, Phew what a relief!! Alan, I'll be in touch off-line about a new image for you to try out. Cheers, Phil | |||||
