 Dear All,

 I currently have a customer who is experiencing intermittent controller 
process crashes. I've included the crash details captured in the 
controller log file. Its worth noting that the crash, leaves 4 out the 
16 LTA devices still active on the system. The customer then has to delete 
the ports manually before the new controller process will start correctly.

 Does anyone know what is causing the crash ?

 Is the crash fixed in PCM_127_VAX61.BCK - unfortunately there 
are no release notes that would give me a clue ?

 Look forward to your response

      I still have this call open with this customer. The problem with the 
    controller process access violating was originally very intermittent
    problem but for the customer still worrying. Is it possible to get an
    answer to the original note, or at least a pointer to some release
    notes which would least tell me if a problem has been documented.
    
    Many thanks

    As of this writing the ECO 2 kit has no known problems with the
    controller processes crashing including your footprint.
