Crazy HPL Error....

Greetings, Muddled my way through unloading a large IFX 10UC4 database and am trying to work through the load process. HPL is really amazing at unloading large amounts of data an I'm thoroughly impressed.. When calling onpload to execute a load job I get the following: plsig_segv(): received SIGSEGV 13:35:03 pl_main.c, line 593, thread 13, proc id 18673, Segmentation Violation. plsig_segv(): received SIGSEGV 13:35:03 pl_main.c, line 593, thread 1612725740, proc id 18835,Segmentation Violation. plsig_segv(): received SIGSEGV plsig_segv(): received SIGSEGV 3: 3: No such file or directory 13:35:03 semop: errno = 22 Not good. The unload files were created by FASTUNLOAD jobs (the -n flag, express mode ). When I look at some of the data contained in the unload files it does not appear to be ascii text. Lots of strange characters. The data was unloaded from a database with a 2K page size and I am attempting to load it into a database with 8K pages (shouldn't make a difference.....). The unload file is residing on a drive physically attached to the server containing the database I am unloading and has been mounted on the server I wish to load (not using LDAP though....). Does anyone have any idea as to what's going on here? Thanks in advance for your help. Tam.

This unloads in "internal Informix format" i.e. pages. Therefore page size does matter. Variable page sizes are new in V10 and the manual has not been updated. Please file a documentation bug with IBM. > The unload file is residing on a drive physically attached to the server > containing the database I am unloading and has been mounted on the server I > wish to load (not using LDAP though....). > > Does anyone have any idea as to what's going on here? > > Thanks in advance for your help. > > Tam.

Are you sure you have the kernel settings as per the release notes. Also, which OS?
