[comp.lsi.cad] MAGIC problem

igb@CUNIXA.CC.COLUMBIA.EDU (Isidore G Bendrihem) (03/06/90)

We're running MAGIC on a Sparcstation under 4.0.3c with all patches applied
(at least those I'm aware of).  It works fine except that when invoked with
the -d NULL option (no graphics display), it core-dumps.  I get the following
message:

Magic - Version 4.11 - Last updated 10/18/89 at 12:12:56

You are on a Sun but not running suntools.
Using technology "scmos".
Magic has encountered a major internal inconsistency:

     Segmentation Violation

Unfortunately,  Magic can't recover from this error.

Please wait while magic generates a core image of itself....
gcore: core.3027 dumped
override protection 755 for /tools/cad/lib/displays? .... done

Any hints?  By the way, any  news when the new MAGIC release will be out?
Thanks.
