Re: Re: Unixware 7.1 crash with Informix 7.30 UC2

I think it's a bug (either in UW7.1 or in Informix). As I understand from your message the operating system crashes, not Informix. So, it's more likely a UW7.1 bug. Have you tried to send a bug report to SCO or Informix ? Best Regards, Octav On Thu, Jun 17, 1999 at 08:33:46AM +0000, Nick MacLeod wrote: > "Art S.
