3267.0. "wxserver crashes when login via login box or when end session..." by ZUR01::JAUNIN (www2000: click and dispair) Mon Apr 14 1997 11:07

Cross posted in Pathworks32 conf:

Customer tested new PW32 kit under NT4.0 on an Intel- and an AXP PC. He
has two VMS hosts 6.2-1H3 and 5.5-2, Motif 1.2-3 DECnet and no UCX.

He did a vanilla PW32 installation. He never had problems with older PW and
eXcursion versions. I could not reproduce the problem here neither on an Intel-
nor an AXP 4.0 system. 

He gets the login box (decw$startlogin) but after login he never gets the
session manager and the the wxserver.exe crashes with a doctor watson message.

If he gets the session manager (decw$session) directly all works fine until he
quits the session. Then wxserver.exe also crashes.

In the decw$sm.log he gets:

  Error -1 calling XSMEImpersonateUser
  XIO:  fatal IO error 65535  on X server "WSA8:"
        after 1224 requests (1221 known processed) with 15 events remaining.
  Xlib io erro
  error detected: non-translatable vms error code: 0x20EC
  %system-f-linkdiscon, network partner disconnected logical link

I also have a trap file from the try through the login box but I don't know if
there is that much information in it:

   CRASHY::DISK$USER2:[000000.PUBLIC.EXCURSION]38852_TRAP_BALZ.TRP  (48.330)

I hope to get some hints here. Otherwise what additional information is needed
to elevate the problem.

Thanks

    Can anyone crash excursion by replaying that trap file ?   Or does
    crash only occur on a "real" run.
