We are running ULTRIX 4.0 on a DS3100 and we get from time to time the following panic message: cpu 0 panic: sm_retrieve_sa: Could not find SMS in proc We've been told by a DEC support representative that this is a known race condition between the page daemon and an exiting process using shared memory (through shmget, shmop, shmat, ... system calls). Does anybody know a workaround or a possible patch? Has the problem been solved on newer versions of ULTRIX? -- Gilles Hurteau, DMR Group Inc, (514) 252-4333 (All of these opinions are my own) hurteau@zap.uucp uunet!sobeco!zap!hurteau hurteau%zap@larry.mcrcim.mcgill.edu
