[comp.unix.xenix] Panic error, system lockup

rick@crash.cts.com (Rick Stout) (03/25/90)

I've received the following error several times on my
system in the last few weeks.  The system locks up completely
and has to be reset.  There doesnt seem to be anything
common about the three times that it has happened.

Has anyone else seen this or can decipher it?

Yes!

is appears that idleout will try to kill a process that isn't running!
if your running Multiview disable idleout
check to see if your getting several process that a ps -ef tells you are 
<defunct>
I had these same register dumps and messages
one day a user couldn't start Multiview after coming back from lunch, I had 
her log off completely and did a ps -ef she had an orphaned process with a 
<defunct> exit status did a kill, no effect did a kill -9
