[comp.sys.hp] Extra data segments on HP-UX :-)

tml@hemuli.atk.vtt.fi (Tor Lillqvist) (07/17/89)

When trying a Pascal compilation on a hp9000s800 which is low on swap
space, I get this:

**** EXTRA DATA SEGMENT ERROR ****
UNKNOWN XDATA SEGMENT:
  XDATA SEGMENT ID      0
  CURRENT LENGTH      0
  ALLOCATED LENGTH      0
  MAXIMUM LENGTH      0

Very funny... I had guessed that the Pascal compiler was written by
HP3000 people as it has ERROR MESSAGES IN ALL CAPS.  This `extra data
segment' message gives it away...

Er, um, uh yeah.  Clearly a bogus message.

Well there you have it!  File an SR! :-)

True... We'll have to change the message to "bus error, core dumped".

 Jeez Chip, don't change the kernel just so the pascal compiler 
can put out lower case error mesages (low swap isn't usually a bus error
but more like a kernel mem management error message I would guess)
While we are on the subject of core dumps, I was really bummed 
yesterday when I had a core dump in / and I ran xdb with the name
of the program that I thought had created the core and xdb dumped
core on the existing core dump which was the only copy I had. Of course,
in the future if I have only one copy of a core dump I'll save it
somewhere else before running xdb. Could you change the error mesages
from xdb so it doesn't say xdb: core dumped - something in upper case,
but without the core dump part would be good ( xdb is probably written in 
the C Computer Language so this may not be in your bailiwick )

Or maybe just "not a typwriter."  Then, everyone will *know* it's a
UN*X program:-)
