We do a lot of development and the problem seems to manifest itself when quitting out of the debugger without exitting normally. It's not just on the Sparcs. We have had the same problem for a couple years with various revisions on our 3/480. Same basic cause though, exiting a window (or whatever) without telling informix to shut down. - Dave -- EMail: kindred@telesci.UUCP (...!princeton!pyrnj!telesci!kindred) CI$: 72456,3226 (72456.3226@compuserve.com) Phone: +1 609 866 1000 x222 Snail: TeleSciences C O Systems, 351 New Albany Rd, Moorestown, NJ 08057-1177
