Hi! DEC AlphaServer 2100 1-CPU Digital Unix 3.0b OnLine 5.05.UC1 I-SQL 4.13.UD1 When we try to run sformbld (to dynamically buil and execute a form) we get the following repeated: Unaligned access pid=6012 <sformbld> va=11fffd29c pc=1200ae54c ra=1200ae540 type =stq Unaligned access pid=6012 <sformbld> va=11fffd2a4 pc=1200ae54c ra=1200ae540 type =stq Unaligned access pid=6012 <sformbld> va=11fffd2ac pc=1200ae54c ra=1200ae540 type =stq Unaligned access pid=6012 <sformbld> va=11fffd2b4 pc=1200ae54c ra=1200ae540 type =stq Unaligned access pid=6012 <sformbld> va=11fffd2bc pc=1200ae54c ra=1200ae540 type =stq This goes on for a few seconds, each line having a different value for va. Could someone enlighten me on the meanings of va, pc, ra and type? As well as what does unaligned access mean? We got this a few weeks ago, but after the system was rebooted, it did not occur again. Until now. Thanks for any help offered.
