I'm not sure what procedure you have been using to track
down problems of this nature, but I can detail what I have found
to be a useful procedure in case it is helpful to you.
Often bugs that produce a GPF on windows will produce a similar
problem on the sun client. If this is true, then invoking the scopus
program from within the gdb debugger can be helpful.
What you can do on unix to get useful traces is:
cd $HOME
add bdrosen
scopus.test
then use scopus as normal until you trigger an error or
quit.
Then the file temp.1 should have trace of sql commands
from startup, temp.2 has traces of other sql commands
and temp.3 has a trace of tcl commands.
I find that temp.3 is very useful since the last few lines of
it usually will indicate where scopus is dying.
(these files should be in the top level directory of your
athena account)
As well gdb will put a message in temp.3 that tells what
gdb thinks caused the problem.
I hope that you find this useful,
Brett
