Message-ID: <1sktk0$1mq@comgate.ee.uct.ac.za> Date: 10 May 1993 08:44:02 +0200 Lines: 18 Organization: Communications Research Group, University of Cape Town, South Africa X-Newsreader: Tin 1.1 PL3 Keywords: core.files, system conflicts Lines: 18 I am running simulations under 386bsd which allocate and deallocate memory. I have tried and tested the simulations under dos, and unix on a sun workstation without problems. When running on the 386bsd, my simulations run concurrently without any problems. However when system compilations are done by the system administrator, or other system operations are performed under root the system either crashes or dumps a core file of my process. Has anyone experienced a similar problem under 386bsd, or can offer any idea as to what may be the reason for this conflict. I suspect that it is memory related, but can find no logical explaination.
