RE: Witango-Talk: crashing witango 5 on OS X

[Robert Shubert]

Roland,   I’ve seen crashing issues move from 5.0 ro 5.5 on Windows, so there really are no guarantees. That doesn’t change the fact that 5.5 (especially on 10.4) seems to be a much better solution.   that said…   The first thing you need to do is isolate where in the TAF it’s crashing (if it’s always the same). You’re best bet is to add either a file write action, email action, or a database insert action between each major point of the TAF. You can start with just a few, maybe even just one in the middle. But eventually you should (hopefully) be able to isolate it down to a particular action.   I would first try deleting that action and recreating from scratch.   There have been some discussions about TAF corruption. Try searching for !CST, and look back through the WT list for more info.   If the TAF in question isn’t too complex, you might just want to recreate it. Just don’t copy any code over, just to be safe.   Make sure you send all the crash info to WT. You can ask them if there’s any hints to the problem. If the crash info isn’t corrupted, they can usually see if it’s a TAF, TCF, datasource, cache, etc. issue - although I make no guarantees here.   Robert   From: Roland Dumas [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Wednesday, November 16, 2005 3:59 PM To: WiTango List List Subject: Witango-Talk: crashing witango 5 on OS X   Have had this particular crash mode for a few months and not been able to figure it out at all. It kills the witango log, so there is nothing there. The crash happens when one application is hit, and occurs randomly. it might occur 1 in 100 hits. What the taf is doing is just a few queries, nothing fancy.     the thread that crashes looks like this:   Thread 23 Crashed: 0 witangod       0x00068ef8 0x1000 + 0x67ef8 1 witangod       0x000482a8 0x1000 + 0x472a8 2 witangod       0x00069cc4 0x1000 + 0x68cc4 3 witangod       0x0006b300 0x1000 + 0x6a300 4 witangod       0x00019bdc 0x1000 + 0x18bdc 5 witangod       0x0001a1d4 0x1000 + 0x191d4 6 witangod       0x00017e0c 0x1000 + 0x16e0c 7 witangod       0x0001ac90 0x1000 + 0x19c90 8 witangod       0x0014e7d8 0x1000 + 0x14d7d8 9 libSystem.B.dylib       0x90024910 _pthread_body + 0x28     any clues where to look for this.   (pls don't say upgrade to 5.5. The client has not had enough trouble free service from witango to be confident in another version.)   Roland A. Dumas 310 W.
