Helloooo World!!!
My site is FINALLY getting alt.mud again!
I'm curious, has anyone noticed problems with (tiny)Muds crashing
their machines? My system adminiatrator and I are puzzled by an
odd increase in the frequency of machine crashes since I've brought up
{Dragon|Tiny}Mud. If anyone has any information, fixes or related
data, speak up! DragonMud may go down forever if a fix isn't found!
I'm on a MicroVAX 3500 running ULTRIX-32 ver. 2.2 0 (VAX architecture)
I'm running TinyMud ver. 1.5.3, but experienced similar problems with
1.4.1 through 1.5.3. The crash frequency has been about once every
4 days on the average. Does ANYONE have a clue?!?!?

I've seen old talk do this but never tinymud. If "netstat -m" shows more than "0 requests for memory denied" then you have a problem. If that isn't it, it could be just about anything else. Best bet is to dig through the crash data and try and find out what's going on. It's gotta be a bug in the OS or hardware (user programs should never be able to crash the system) so you might should get support (dec or whoever) to check it out.
