Has anybody else just had the problem of calendar dumping core on Friday and Saturday (September 28 and 29). It looks like the egrep gets an expression from /usr/lib/calendar that it chokes on and dies. It seems to be working now, but it left a 1meg core file in / (root) when it died. This is on Ultrix 3.1 (Our 4.0 machines don't run calendar). -- Fred Thompson, ...!linus!swlvx2!fct or fct@swlvx2.msd.ray.com Raytheon Co, Missile Systems Division, Tewksbury, Mass. 01876

Yep, we had the same problem on our MicroVax 3600 (running Ultrix 3.1).

It looks like the egrep gets an >expression from /usr/lib/calendar that it chokes on and dies. It is a problem which seems to occur whenever there is a month change over a weekend. The egrep expression to try and find four days over two different months is somewhat more then egrep can handle. This is also a problem on 4.3BSD's calendar. I have never noticed the core file, but that may be a peculiarity of our systems. > It seems >to be working now, but it left a 1meg core file in / (root) when it died. >This is on Ultrix 3.1 (Our 4.0 machines don't run calendar). ...
