Answer is:
Known bug.
Use the pre-4.x version of rwhod.
(I tried the one from V3.2G, and it works)
Or: get DEC's patch for it. Someone said, it
is still in testing, another one already
received it.
=====================
Original question was:
DEC3000 - M400
64.00MB RAM
DU4.0B
Since the upgrade to 4.0B rwhod dies after running awhile on this machine.
On my second machine (an AlphaStation600/5 266, also 4.0B), there is no
problem with rwhod.
...
in /usr/var/rwho I found a corefile (coming from rwhod), dated at the time
when rwhod disappeared again.
...
dbx /usr/sbin/rwhod core
shows:
signal Segmentation fault at >*[__getutid_r, 0x3ff8017a564] ldq r2, 88(r11)
...
======================
Additional info from Hellebo Knut <Knut.Hellebo_at_nho.hydro.com>:
The getutid_r routine is a search routine to get a specific entry in the
utmp file.
