Sascha,
Is the DM/FV dying or is the station rebooting?
If the station is rebooting, the next question is, "Are these displays
optimizable or not, i.e., do they have complete path names or are they
generic?"
A good way to crash a WP/AW is to copy a file to a station while an earlier
version is being displayed on the station. DM/FV write to the OM table in
the file to optimize display call-up. If the file is copied while this write
is occurring, the OM table will be corrupted. Since the data in this table
is used directly by the OM, the OM will crash. If the OM crashes, the
station reboots.

Subject: Help! FoxView crashes
Hello Folks,
under which circumstances can a display with faceplates crash
FoxView with a segmentation fault?
I have a set of displays here which do exactly that. The problem
occurs usually after 7 or so callups of different displays (e.g. jumping in
between displays or calling them from the button row). Testing revealed
that the faceplates seem to be responsible for it (e.g. if I move the
faceplates directory somewhere else, everything works fine).
But I could not find any errors there. Just normal faceplates with
.ALMSTA links for example. They were created on an AW70 and then
transferred to AW51 with m1g/gm1.
I have already tried the following:
* dumped all displays and faceplates, removed the originals and
uploaded again
* resized my displays in such a way that no graphics is outside of the
rectangle in foxdraw
* run several incantations of fdf_version on both displays and
faceplates
* downgraded my foxview from 99.2.1 to 99.2
All to no avail. I suspect that it is some object manager hiccup.
Is there anything else I overlooked?
