Hi Cameron,  

Ahh, very funny.  A little Aussie humor there?  Took me a second but I got
it ;-)

   Bus error (core dumped)

Relax, your bus is fine.  DX is definitely not behaving correctly with
multiprocessor script mode.  If you built it with debug and can get a
decent core file, a printout of the stack might be helpful in debugging the
problem.

When you get the corefile, do a:

    dbx <path-to-dxexec>/dxexec core
    (dbx) where

(I have recollections of trying the same and not getting anything useful
but maybe yours will dump out closer to the problem.  I also tried
purifying this a while back, but purify was too finicky to be helpful.)

 |Thanks Randall, 
 |
 |
 |Based on your suggestions I tried a few things - here are the results.
 |hzslice is the name of my script.
 |
 |Starting with a command line "dx -processors 2 -memory 1024 -script"
 |Then "dx>include hzslice"
 |Everything works fine.
 |
 |Starting with a command line "dx -processors 1 -memory 1024 -script hzslice"
 |Everything works fine.
 |
 |Starting with a command line "dx -processors 2 -memory 1024 -script hzslice"
 |It stops before executing the sequencer (found that by using the Describe
 |module as suggested).
 |
 |I get exactly the same behaviour using the sample script "Sequencer" now
 |that I have tried it.
 |
 |Go figure? Runs much quicker with two processor, so if anyone know a fix I'd
 |appreciate it. If not, is this the sought of thing I should stick in a bug
 |report?
 |
 |Also, I have never had a problem with my Bus!
 |
 |Cheers,
 |
 |Cameron
