[comp.sys.sun] Too many paranoids using enumerator

ken@uunet.uu.net (Ken Hardy) (06/28/91)

We've got an application that runs under both SunView and X by being
linked with support libraries specific to the environment that provide
a consistent API of our own devising.  The SunView product seemed to be
fortunately dying away, but there has been a recent demand for it.

When I try to relink the application with the SunView-specific
libraries, I keep getting "too many paranoids using enumerator" when I
run it.  (The application has evolved somewhat under X, and it has been
a while since I tried to get the latest version up under SunView.)

What, on God's green earth, is a "paranoid", how can one get too many
of them, and what is the "enumerator" that they are trying to use?!?
I can find no mention of these in the manuals, though I have a couple
guesses as to what might be happening.

Does anyone have any hints on how to debug these type of notifier error
messages?
