We have an Alpha 2100A (2 CPUs) running DU 4.0B supporting a
'realtime' application. The application is written primarily in Ada.
It runs correctly for random periods of time, sometimes as long as 1.5
hrs, then seems to go into a loop. When this happens, the CPU usage
for the process goes from approx 10% to 100% and remains there. One
of the programmers believes that it is making a call to a delay
statement and never returning. The process is multi-threaded and uses
the Posix draft 4 threads libraries.
The same application runs fine on another Alpha 2100 that is running
an older version of the OS and the Ada compiler.
Has anyone seen this behavior?
TIA
