[comp.sys.next] Ray.app and crashes under 2.0/2.1 or 040

robert@HUB.UCSB.EDU (Robert Patrick Thille) (05/25/91)

I've had some trouble using Ray.app under 2.0/2.1, or since I got my  
040 upgrade.  I don't really remember when the problem started.   
Anyway, I think I isolated the problem, and can now get around it.   
If anyone else is having trouble with Ray.app, try limiting the  
length of the filename that you are trying to open.

Here's a trace.  Ray is the NeXTStep front end and MTV... is the  
backend unix program.
