[fa.info-vax] DCL problem...

KVC@engvax.UUCP (09/21/85)

Has anyone observed a problem with DCL relating somehow to excessive use of
the SPAWN command?  I have a daemon process which receives commands in a
mailbox and uses SPAWN/NOWAIT in order to execute the command.  After a few
days the DCL process dies with "no condition handler found".  Sometimes
the process does not die, but the SPAWN command returns a status of
0 (NOMESSAGE) without spawning a subprocess.

Does SPAWN get tired?  Is it using up some resource and not giving it up
each time correctly?  I will SPR this when I get enough info.  Maybe I should
just send 'em my .COM file and tell 'em to watch it for a week or two...
