[comp.sys.dec] Probs with MIPS pixie - is longjmp messing it up?

lethin@ai.mit.edu (Richard A. Lethin) (02/08/91)

I'm trying to do a pixie-profile of the xlisp program from the SPEC
benchmark suite on one of the DEC workstations, and the instrumented
program seems to fall off the rails at around the time it's doing a
longjmp.

Is this a known bug with pixie? A few years ago, I thought I was able
to pixie xlisp on a MIPS (not DEC) system, so there's the
possibility that the ULTRIX-release pixie is old or stale or
something.  Does anyone have a patch?

Would someone have a MIPS system on the internet that they would let
me use for a few days to do the profiling?

I appreciate your help.
