[comp.unix.microport] More Panics w/Microport SV/AT

karl@ddsw1.MCS.COM (Karl Denninger) (12/07/88)

Good morning!

Question for those of you out there -- has anyone else seen the following:

A user "dials back in" from one port to another on a SV/AT machine and runs
a largish software package.  Anywhere from a few seconds to a half-hour
later, the machine panics with a double-panic fault.

OTHER software (vi, etc) do not "cause" the panic.

Configuration is 2 drives (ST412), in a 10 Mhz AT compatible with an 
ARNET Smart-8 board, running SV/AT.

In addition, executing the program from either the console or a dialup
operates normally, and does not panic.  I've personally called the machine
in question and worked for over an hour in the package; no problem at all.

The problem exists on SV/AT 2.2, 2.3, and now I've had it reported on 2.4.

We consider it relatively low priority since "dialing back" is not a normal
mode of operation, but still.... it appears the panic monsters are still with
us!

Anyone else with identical or similar problems?
