sgi 8.1.9: attach

daemon@ATHENA.MIT.EDU (Nathan J Williams)
Mon Sep 15 17:33:33 1997

To: bugs@MIT.EDU
Date: Mon, 15 Sep 1997 17:33:23 EDT
From: Nathan J Williams <nathanw@MIT.EDU>

System name:		steve-dallas
Type and version:	IP22 8.1.9
Display type:		NG1

What were you trying to do?
	attach -n pit

What's wrong:
	The machine paniced.

What should have happened:
	/mit/pit should have been mounted. 
	
Please describe any relevant documentation references:
	attach(1)

Other info:

	I enabled crash dumps on steve-dallas after reproducing this
bug (which Mike Whitson mentioned). Interestingly, while "attach pit"
crashed the machine the first time, after the reboot "attach pit"
simply reported an authentication failure, while "attach -n pit"
crashed.

dbx'ing the crash dump didn't give anything immediately useful, as I
wasn't sure how to tease out anything past the post-fault stack trace:

Both crash dumps are in /var/adm/crash on steve-dallas if anyone wants
to look at them or has a place where they can be moved for analysis.
