Yes, it's consistently reproducible. I am executing a dx program that someone else wrote. It's fairly large. I'm not sure I could break it down to a smaller program.

At first I was unable to run an example dx program because of an error attaching a shared memory segment (see the "cannot attach shared memory" thread on this board). It was suggested that I try setting DXSHMEMSEGMAX to 8. This fixed the memory problem. But now when I execute this other dx program, I get the connection problem.

So your remark about running into memory constraints is probably relevant. I'm just not sure what to do about it. I am running on an 8 processor Compaq AlphaServer with 8GB of shared memory. My user memory limit is 1 GB.

When a connection to the server happens, it is usually because the server is crashing. This can happen do to any number of reasons. Is what you are doing consistently reproducible? If so, can you write a small network that can reproduce it?

You may be running into memory constraints if you are working with large data sets and have a limited amount of memory. Make sure to set your memory swap to be twice as large your physical RAM.

Any ideas on what may be causing me to keep getting the message:

        "connection to the server has been broken"

I try to re-establish the connection and am unsuccessful.

Thanks,

Betsy
