Display type: cgthree
What were you trying to do?
run mkserv which uses synctree
What went wrong?
usually it works, somtimes synctree hangs
What should have happened?
synctree should work all of the time.
Yo, got any documentation, or other info?
I think I've determined a way to get synctree to fail
consistantly:
mkserv jweiss:/mit/jweiss/dcns/mkserv mail77
mkserv local
The couple of times in a row that I tried this is synctree hung during
the mkserv local.
when I ran mkserv -v one of these times, this is what synctree started reporting.
