Hi all,
my question was about the following error from Pro/E software
running on DU 3.2d:
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>
inst fault=4, status word= 8, pc= 3ff80128ce0
Out of virtual memory: Cannot continue
Serious internal error; cannot continue.
<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
This error come from firmware bug. I just validate that we have the buggy
FW. I suppose to up/downgrade the FW in the next week. The possible
solution of this bug and testing program follows.
Thank for all replies!!
Best regards,
Lubos

Lubos,
We had exactly the same problem some months before.
There are floating point errors under 3.2D-1 with
a certain revision of the firmware (CD-ROM 3.7 I think).
To know if you have the problem, try this simple C program :
#include <math.h>
main ()
{
double dd = (double) 0.019999999552965164;
double int_dd;
int_dd = floor (dd);
printf("dd=%f int_dd=%f\n",dd,int_dd);
}
Output will be either :
GOOD (no problem) dd=0.020000 int_dd=0.000000
or :
WRONG (firmware bug) inst fault=4
The bug prevents Pro-E to compute the virtual memory size,
hence the "Out of virtual memory" misleading message !
3 Solutions :
1) (BEST !) upgrade to 3.2G (very stable version and easy to install
through setld, does'nt truncate kernel options file as installupdate !!)
2) Downgrade to 3.6 firmware
3) Not tested : Upgrade to brand new 3.8 firmware.
Hope this helps,
