What you're seeing is Purify crashing during instrumentation. The problem is usually transient, related to the state of the machine and the particular build revision. Unfortunately, we don't have great insights as to what's causing it. Here are things you can do to try to resolve the issue: * rdp into the machine and dismiss any alert dialogs that are there * do a clobber build * reboot the machine * wait for a couple of builds and see if it goes away on its own
Also unfortunately, the debug cycle on this is fairly long, so it will be unclear what exactly caused the problem to get fixed. As sheriff, if you see it get into this state and stay in this state despite you doing the previous steps, the next step is to see if it reproduces on another machine (perhaps your own desktop). You don't necessarily need to do a full build, you could grab the build output from the build machine if that would be faster. If it does repro, then it's likely that we have a reproducible bug that we can send off to IBM to try to get a fix for. They've been fairly responsive when the crash is reproducible. Unfortunately, the more recent instances we have of these crashers have not been reproducible, so we've not been able to get them fixed. Erik On Thu, Jul 16, 2009 at 1:04 PM, Sverrir Á.
