- Hello,
- The following program compiles and runs fine on my Decstation 5000/240
- running Ultrix 4.2.
-
- main() {
- vfork();
- pause();
- }
-
- However, from then on /bin/ps prints up the following:
-
- $ ps
- PID TT STAT TIME COMMAND
- Segmentation fault
- $
-
- Can anyone explain this problem? Is it unique to my system, or does everyone
- have this prob? (Also another problem is that sendmail gets the following
- error no matter what I do, *unless* I trace it!
-
- pid 29155 (sendmail) was killed on an unaligned access, at pc 0x40ccd8
