I crashed my rs6000 320 running 3003 with the following command (aliased in .cshrc) 3 times today. Now I dont do history for fear of .... alias h 'history \!* | head -39 | more' Could this be a bug, or is the flashing 888 a natural result of this.

It happens to me 5-6 times and I was afraid to use the same command for a while. Also at first time I couldn't figure out why it crashes. But now I don't have any problem. I think updates solved this problem We are running at bos level 3.0018. And when we check the codes for error from 3-digit display it gives Data Storage Interrupt - processor type. Murat Berk

Hey...I posted a warning about this a few days ago...It looks like IBM has a problem with using more than one pipe on a command line.... p.s. We have determined that this problem is not unique to ksh (got it under csh), and are pursuing with ibm (problem number is 8x856 if you want to open anouther one and reference this...). -- Jon Alperin Bell Communications Research ---> Internet: jona@iscp.bellcore.com ---> Voicenet: (908) 699-8674 ---> UUNET: uunet!bcr!jona * All opinions and stupid questions are my own *

This is quite humorous (or rather would be, were it not so serious). I just successfully took out a 320 running 3004 from ksh. We're going to 3005 this week; does anyone know if that fixes it?
