Re: Informix 9.4 crash
Posted in 2003
Bill and all,
This is really a bad stack trace. But if somebody has a dbx debugger
installed and can reproduce the problem:
Configure online with one cpu vp and then as root run:
dbx $INFORMIXDIR/bin/oninit
(dbx) run -d
where # run this after dbx reported a crash
I hope that this will give us a stack trace (which ususlly tells me a lot).
