Hello All,
We need help with a serious bug in Digital UNIX 3.2. It seems Digital support in Singapore is just scratching their head. We've asked them to escalate to the for the past two weeks but I have yet to seen any action or feedback. We're desperate, hence this message.
Some of the details are below. It is mostly happening to with our pop process. One caveat is that when we reboot the system, we immediately see +800 process start up.
Has anyone have an idea what could be causing this OR have a contact in the US Digital office we can talk to help resolve this problem?
Any advice would be welcome.
Thanks,
Barry

Hi
SingNet's DEC7000 running Digital UNIX 3.2d is experiencing a software bug
in Digital UNIX. The inetd is spawning off processes and these processes
are not being removed when they exit. They stay in the system for days
and this has resulted in thousands of runaway processes. We are not able
to kill these processes using the normal "kill -9". This bug has been
with SingNet and all Digital UNIX users for years. Please escalate this
serious problem to the Engineer in U.S. because it is affecting our mail
and telnet services to the users.
Thank you.
Have a nice day.
Regards
