Problem Title:
Design Manager/Prom File Formatter/etc... M1: Segmentation Fault, Bus Error (core dump) when
invoking GUI
Problem Description:
Urgency: Hot
Problem Description:
After entering the appropriate command line to invoke a given GUI
application (i.e - Design Manager or Prom File Formatter) from a
UNIX shell, a segmentation fault occurs and no additional messages
are given.
(Any message reported is specific to a user and/or a machine)
Solution 1:
This may result from a machine that was powered-down or re-booted while a given
application was processing a design. This causes a disconnect in the registry that
is emulated by the Windu software, which now prevents new instances of the
GUI application from starting.
The user with the failure should logon to their account and delete the .windu
and .Windu directories from their home directory.
For example, on a Sun machine:
rm -r /home/michael/.windu
rm -r /home/michael/.Windu
Also, list all of the processes running on the machine (execute 'top')
and kill any with the windu string in them (i.e - windu_registry).
This solution has been reported successful on SunOS (4.1.4) and Solaris
(2.5/2.6) machines.
