[comp.sys.amiga] Possible bug in 2.0

caw@miroc.Chi.IL.US (Christopher A. Wichura) (07/05/90)

(Sorry I didn't send this to the bugs account at Commodore, but I couldn't
remember what the address was.)

From time to time, while using my new 3000, it will loose all its ASSIGNed
directories, as well as some volumes as well.  I use BindNames by the great
and mighty H to do 30 plus assigns during startup.  When the system decides
to scramble itself, I end up with 2 or 3 of the assigns left, and entry for
`:' (the filingsystem root?), a couple of dos handlers (but not all that I
mounted), and only one of my hard drive partitions.

Typing `version' on my system give:  Kickstart = 36.141 and WorkBench = 36.68

I have not noticed this problem occuring after any specific command or
family of commands (such as those that use the arp.library -- I use ARP's
CD exclusively so one would think I would get this problem a lot more often
than I do).

When this happens, a simple three finger salute doesn't really do the
trick.  Very shortly after rebooting the system will do the same thing
again.  To really get it out of its system, I have to turn the machine off
for a few seconds and then turn it back on.
