There seems to be a bug in how SCO Xenix 2.3.2 handles shared memory. Occasionally, when one accesses the last byte of a block of shared memory, the program dumps core. This only happens when the system load is relatively heavy so I suspect it has something to do with how shared memory is swapped. Making our shared memory blocks one byte bigger than needed seems to be a reasonable workaround. -- Dave Eisen Home: (415) 323-9757 dkeisen@Gang-of-Four.Stanford.EDU Office: (415) 967-5644 1447 N.
