*What were you trying to do?
Hi! Periodically, I've had discuss give me "Premature end of block",
and then dump core next time I try to do something. I think I've
finally figured out the pattern
I can consistently make it happen if I:
- do something that will take a long time in discuss (like
accidentally type "ls 2800,l" instead of "ls 28000,l"
- ^c out of that
- try to do something else (like "ls 28620,l"). That will give the "Premature
end of block"
- try to do something else (like "p l"). That will dump core
I've removed the core file, since I needed the space. If you can't get
it to dump core though and want me to, please let me know!
Carla
