Hi Scott   I've worked with R:BASE with novell networks since 1982 and never seen this happen. this must be some sort of hardware problem.   Victor   -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Scott Sherer Sent: Thursday, 1 July 2004 11:04 PM To: RBG7-L Mailing List Subject: [RBG7-L] - rbase crash Hello everyone,   My company has been experiencing an Rbase bug and I’ve reported it several times on the rbase website.  The developers say they can’t reproduce the problem and yet it happens ten to twenty times per day in my company.  (bug 71526).  We’re running an eleven user license and running patch 73. Our file server is netware 5.1 and our workstations are windows XP.  This bug occurs under two scenarios.   Scenario 1: If you start two copies of Rbase on the same workstation within a second or two of each other.  The first copy of Rbase starts successfully.  The second copy of Rbase (pointing to a different database) fails within a few seconds of starting with the following message. “unable to find help.rid”.  After displaying the message, Rbase goes into a loop. While in the loop it acquires 250 megabytes of memory and everything crashes on the workstation, requiring a reboot of the workstation.   Secenario 2: We have Set Timeout 30 in all of our programs.  My employees complain that they have to terminate Rbase when they’re done using it because when the timeout occurs, Rbase fails as in Scenario 1 above.  Same symptoms…   The Rbase development folks don’t believe me and yet this is a huge problem for us.  Has anyone else experienced this?   Scott Sherer
