1215.1Dies only when using the C3 interface4711::dorianTim DorianTue Feb 27 1996 13:305
I just discovered that this only happens when I bring up the C3 interface.
If I kill all of the daemons and restart consoled everything works fine
until the C3 interface starts.

1215.4Works for me...but check new gh and share-PTE patch34129::FLACKSwap read error. You lose your mind.Mon Mar 11 1996 17:2118
    
    I am using Console Manager on a V3.2D system with no problems...so
    far...
    
    Please note that many of the patches that were out for V3.2C did NOT
    make it into V3.2D despite what you may hear from support, etc.  A
    patch kit for V3.2D was released early last week that should at least
    make available the same patches that were available for V3.2C.  There
    was no real functionality changes made for V3.2D versus V3.2C.

    P.S. As the "granularity-hints" patch was put into V3.2D and it affects
    use of shared memory, this could be the cause of your problems.  Make
    sure that you have gh-fail-if-no-mem (in vm stanza of
    /etc/sysconfigtab) set to 0 (this will effectively disable the patch
    when it is not being used or is not needed).
    
1215.5No I've caught it!34129::FLACKSwap read error. You lose your mind.Tue Mar 12 1996 21:3012
    Well, I had to go and open my big mouth...and now I see the same
    problem...
    
    I went to use PCM today and nothing was working, then I noticed C3 was
    getting the shared memory error.  I tried restarting using the
    /sbin/init.d/consoled script - this did nothing (since the stop piece
    doesn't actually try to kill the procs, it tries to use a console
    command to shut itself off).  I fixed the problem (at least
    temporarily) by killing the console processes and then restarting the
    software.

Well that makes me feel better. does the fix need to come from here or 
digital unix?
