System name: duke
Type and version: KN02ca 7.7M
Display type: PMAG-DV
What were you trying to do?
create a build tree using the command
/afs/athena/astaff/project/andrew/a-andy-r4/mit-local/decmips/wash/rcsmakelinks
-r /mit/libdevo/src/willow/2.4/src
/mit/libdevo/decmips/willow_24/src
What's wrong:
the workstation I was logged in on (tla.mit.edu and
then duke.mit.edu) panicked. the problem seemed to
be a direct result of
/mit/libdevo/src/willow/2.4/src/malarm/malarm
being a soft link to
../malarm
because the machine got caught in a loop going down the
malarm path
What should have happened:
the machine shouldn't have panicked. it would have been
nice if rcsmakelinks had been more clever, but the machine
crashing was definitely excessive.
