Asynchronous software trap. If it makes you feel any better, I had to ask as well :-/ I was told the term dates back from VMS. Hm, some quick Googling suggests that it may really mean Asynchronous SYSTEM Trap; it's possible I misheard or misremember what someone told me. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Asynchronous_System_Trap --Ken _______________________________________________ Lustre-discuss mailing list [email protected] http://lists.lustre.org/mailman/listinfo/lustre-discuss
