Do have one record that is humongous? We accidentally got a record out in a
file that was 9 meg and we blew shared memory trying to manipulate it.

Subject: [U2] Unidata core dump


I have a file (static hashed) in Unidata that I can read and write to
without a hitch.  If I access (read/write) any field in any record, things
are good.  However, if I list the entire contents of the file with:

:LIST FILENAME ALL

It core dumps at the same field regardless of which record(s) are being
listed.  I have:

1) Checked the file for corruption.

2) Checked the dictionary for corruption.

3) Checked all records for weird ascii values and stripped them out.

4) Rebuilt all indicies.

All to no avail - it core dumps reguarly on the same field.  If I try
listing just the field where it core dumps like:

:LIST FILENAME FIELDNAME

I have no problems and the entire file lists fine.  I've tried the DICT
elements that occur just before and after the fieldname where the core
dump occurs and there's no problem with them either.

In short, there's something with "ALL" that's causing the core dump on
this file alone.  Did I mention that this is in a production account, and
the same file in a development account has no issues?  Both accounts are
on the same server (ie: running under the same unidata).  We were leaning
towards configuration parameters as we had to rebaseline some changes a
few weeks ago - but problems with udtconf should affect all accounts on
the server, not just selected one.  Likewise, the problem (to out
knowledge) is with this file alone.

Any advice appreciated.
