I'm not sure whether you're talking about `amd' or really about
`automount' here.  If `amd', then you probably need two patches I
recently sent to the amd-workers list:

To: amd-workers@acl.lanl.gov
Date: Wed, 26 Aug 92 14:48:55 EDT


The following patch fixes a condition where amd was free()ing memory
and then using it immediately.  This was causing it to dump core on
some systems with finicky malloc()s.

Also, config/os-aix3.h should #include <sys/time.h> for AIX 3.2.

The old version of str3cat() interacted badly with the mnt_dup() in
mtab_aix.c.  The following patch fixes this by just having str3cat()
use xmalloc() rather than xrealloc().  I don't see any good reason not
to have it work this way.

(I don't know of any more bugs at the moment.)

Yes.  This is logged when the contents of your raw input queue exceeded 512
bytes...at the same time, the raw input queue is tossed.

This is not supposed to happen with ptys.  The pts/ptc are supposed to work
together to ensure that the pts isn't overrun.  If I could reliably reproduce
it, I'm sure we could solve the mystery.

Subject: putuserattr() chomping memory
Organization: Math Faculty Computing Facility, University of Waterloo, Canada
Date: Mon, 31 Aug 1992 19:05:47 GMT

I have a program (yes, the same one as before) that uses frequent calls
to putuserattr() and its friends.  It seems that after a large number of these
calls, my page space is filling to the brim, and the program gets SIGKILLed
by the kernel.

After looking over my use of malloc() and free() calls, I am beginning to
believe that the problem is with the putuserattr() calls - the more of them
I use, the more memory I take up.  Every memory block I allocate gets freed
up before the subroutine exits, so I don't think my garbage collection
is the problem.

Has anyone else encountered this?  Is there an acceptable workaround?
Where should I be looking to solve this problem?

1) xlf
I have trouble using the SNGL function on a RS/6000-520.  The compiler
gives error message for a statement demonstrated below:

      PROGRAM FOO
        EH = SNGL(5.0)
      END

The "%xlf foo.f" gave following messages:
>

>  the INTRINSIC function sngl.
>** foo   === End of Compilation 1 ===

Neiter does it accept EH = SNGL(A) where A is a real*4

It compiled OK with 5.0 is changed to 5.0D0.  It seems like that SNGL
requires a double precision argument, but the reference manual of xlf
says that SNGL can take any real arguments (XLF ref manual p160)

2) .o files

   It appears that the .o file will not be removed if the compilation
   failed.  This could cause a problem for make. Is this a bug or a
   feature?

   
Any help would be appreciated.

Well Ian, the ability to do 'cu -l' was one of the many tty things broken
in the great CLOCAL fix of AIX 3.1's 2007.  Anyhow, you now need to add
a '-m' flag to tell cu not to clear the CLOCAL flag when it has made the
connection to /dev/tty_whatever.  My sniffing around shows that this fix
is in PTF U402532 for APAR ix24051.  It also seems that this PTF is 
superceded by an EVEN BETTER cu which contains the ability to specify
a '-T' flag to override the default chat-string timeouts (which prove
too short for most international calls).  To get this latest 'cu', just
ask for PTFs U405889 and U405786 (for APAR ix23642).

I've used both fixes in their "emergency fix" form for AIX 3.1, hopefully
the PTFs for AIX 3.2 will work as well.

Block 0 of the logical volume is used to store data about the logical
volume that is not stored in the VGDA.  We call it the logical volume
control block.  It's 1 512 byte block.  Most applications we have
usually start at block 1 to avoid writing over this block.  The real
importance of this block is for importing a volume group.  If you have
a raw logical volume that is overwriting this block, I wouldn't worry
about it unless you want to import it on another system, but even then
you can just fix it up with chlv later.

Later,
Julie

Mel, there really *aren't* any man pages. The AIX 'man' command
searches the Info database, gets the hits, *formats* them to look like a
"manpage", and puts it on the screen.

This was done to try to please those who (like me) prefer the old-style
man command to get a quick-and-dirty manpage rather than a
tell-me-everything-whether-I-want-it-or-not Info window.

It's a compromise, I'll admit.

Yes, this is a bug.  The workaround is the make your Xservers line
begin with unix:0 not simply :0.  For example:

unix:0 local /usr/bin/X11/X -f 0 -s 0 -sdebug -x dps

I believe localhost:0 will also work.  DON'T use machinename:0, or
all X traffic will not go through the localhost interface, but
through the ethernet or token ring.

How much free space is left in /var?  From memory, the installation process
only gives you 4Mb (1 partition) which isn't a lot since several log files
(including /var/adm/wtmp) build up there.

XLC 1.2.0.12 will fix this bug.

Subject: Problems with xpr
Date: 31 Aug 92 22:17:29 GMT
Organization: University of Notre Dame, Notre Dame

I am having some problems using xpr.  I have an okidata microline 320
printer.  It is setup as an ibm proprinter for emulation.  xpr is supposed
to be able to handle this setup, and sometimes it does.  But most of the
time I get garbage printed out.  It seems especially bad for large
windows.  I use "xwd -xy" or "xgrabsc -bw" to grab the screens.  It is
quite important for us to be able to print out graphs and such on this
parallel printer so any and all suggestions welcome (besides buying
a poscript laser printer).  I am using an RS6000 with Aix  3.2.1

Alternative programs that can do what xpr does are also a possiblity, but
I have been unable to locate any at this time.  Xdump seems to need an
Xw library and include files that I am lacking, and I don't know if it
will do what I need.  Thanks in advance for any help.
