The "moira" and "dcmmaint" programs on a 7.0 or 7.1H RT can die when
they try to leave the DCM Host or DCM Service menu [7.1H example]:
------------
Command: 2
Add a new service/host tuple
Name of service: nfs
Name of machine: atlas
Enable [1]:
Value 1 [0]:
Value 2 [0]:
Value 3 []:
Command: q
Segmentation violation

------------
I was able to reproduce the problem with both moira and dcmmaint from
7.0F, 7.1H, the moira locker and the moiradev locker. They worked
fine on a VAX, though. In niether DCM menu was there a problem if I
just did a showserv or showhost, or if I did nothing. I also made
modifications in non-dcm menus without a problem.
The 7.0 moira clients died in the same way as the 7.1 clients (see
example, above) except that I didn't need to type 'q'. They died as
soon as the server returned with Unknown service (Query failed).
The 7.1 clients died in response to two other stimuli, as well:
- Leaving the menu with 'r' was just as effective as leaving with 'q'.
- Typing ^C far enough into the process to result in an "Abort"
caused the clients to die, too. Typing ^C early enough that the
client didn't "Abort" the query (but just replaced the prompt with
the "Command: " prompt) didn't cause a problem, until I left the
menu, of course.
I was going to track down the problem further, but I couldn't find a
set of the "moira" sources that would build without work. (The main
one in the source tree did NOT build.)
