- We have been having some major problems with our mail system
- for the last week. The backlog is now being cleared. However
- you may receive messages more than once.
-
- Our apologies for any inconvenience caused.
- =============================== Original Message follows ======================
-
- Environment:
- E/L 1.99q9 running under FreeBSD 2.1R (XFree 3.1.1), on a fairly generic
- Intel 486DX4/100 system, 16M RAM, Adaptec 1542CP SCSI card with both SCSI
- and IDE drives in system.
- Running Quicken 5 (standard, not deluxe or anything else) under Executor
-
- Printing a Register from Quicken 5 acts really weird. Nothing comes out
- of the printer, and Executor hangs around forever and eventually dies
- with no error messages, leaving large (I mean HUGE!) spool files in the
- printer area and a lot of lpd and ghostscript and other processes running
- rampant.
-
- I've tried diddling with the command-line switches (-memory, -applzone,
- etc.), printing both small and large Quicken accounts (I even tried
- printing an account with no transactions in it), hey I've even
- considered making animal sacrifices using my keyboard as an altar.
- Still, no dice.
-
- Again, yes I am a FreeBSD user. I unfortunately lack a Linux system to
- test on. If someone with a Linux or other type of box can spare some
- time and try this out on their system, I'd really appreciate it, that way
- I can help narrow down whether it's a FreeBSD-specific bug or a more
- general bug or whatnot.
-
- Thanks!!
