88.0. "rep problem on wnt4.0/ev4" by HYDRA::SHEN () Tue Feb 04 1997 09:46

    On a WNT/Alpha EV4 platform, I had problem using rep to generate
    address file for user applications. The command I used was:
    
    E:> rep strncpy.exe
    
    where strncpy.exe is a simple program which completed in 10 seconds;
    After that rep would not exit. It did not use any cpu time at all, just
    sitting idle. What might be the cause of the problem ? On Digital Unix
    I did not see anything similar to this.
    
    The enviornmnet I used was:
    
    WNT V4.0/Alpha XL266
    VC++ V5.0 beta (link -debug:full -debugtype:coff)
    nt40_iprobet2_2_ev4.zip

    try doing like note 85, does that help?

    Thanks for the pointer. To my pleasant surprise, the workaround works.
    I learned something that du experience can only be applied selectively to
    wnt/alpha.
