I am running an SCO binary which is relational database. I runs fine normally under ibcs2, but a couple of larger programs I run crash _only_ when I select a large number of records to process. I know that it has nothing to do with the data in the records, as the same records when processed in small batches work fine. I know also that the program runs fine under SCO 3.2 The error that comes up says "line 7: 19639 Bad system call" The line 7: 19639 I believe may refer to the RDBS application which I do not have the source for. I had a similar crash running this program under ibcs2 when I piped data directly to the printer. I ended up curing _that_ problem by creating a small shell script that first saved the data to a file, then printed it later. I wonder whether it could be some kind of buffer filling up in ibcs2 and reaching error when full. Anyone who is familiar with ibcs2 or has any ideas, I would appreciate hearing from you.
