We are supporting a partner in the UK who is testing a large commercial application system. Currently they are stress testing the product, and have encountered, fairly reproducibly, a DECthreads bugcheck. I've been given the following information about it: "We started a stress run yesterday. This ran for 9 hours before the sfs [Transarc Encina Structured File Server] went over. The sfs failed with the following message: on ... Wed Mar 26 14:34:19 GMT 1997 16 04348 97/03/26-14:35:25.309970 502c5448 A Initialized ... Wed Mar 26 14:35 :25 GMT 1997 DECthreads bugcheck (version V3.13-435), terminating execution. vpUpcallThreadUnblocked: (os/kern) invalid argument (4) nxm_resched(24,0)" Is this likely to be a Digital UNIX problem? If so, what diagnostic information should be collected to help find it? The partner can do whatever is needed to reproduce the problem. Many thanks, Richard.

take a look at clt::cma (the threads conf). it's handled in
there, and there is a patch on the way, should be already available
by now

This looks like a known problem. The patch kitting & distribution mechanism is still a bit of a mystery to me, but the way I read things a fix (to at least a problem that shows the symptom you've reported) should be available somewhere-around-now for the v4.0, v4.0A, and v4.0B streams. /dave | |||||

Thanks for the quick response. Can anyone tell me how to find out what the patch is and how to get hold of it, please? Richard. | |||||
