Hi people,
We had a crash on one of our alphas this morning and it seems that some
failure in the advfs caused the crash. I could see in the osf-mailing list
archives that it also has happend for others before (unfortunately without
any "SUMMERY" listed). I've heard
of two different patches for AdvFs ( OSFV30-018 and OSFV30-076), but the
question is that this "bug" is one of those, which these patches fix?
A short dbx run on the crash dump follows. It seems that line 752 in a file
named "subr_prf.c" has caused the panic message.
Thanks in advance,
Farhad Dehghani
