Tru64 client core dumps

[shortfinal]

Howard,

The Tru64 version of the client core dumps. There's nothing in error.log. On the terminal session it says '291289 Floating exception(coredump)'.

The switches that I used are '-df -g 10 -i f -qt -rt'.

Also, I tried running the client a couple more times on different Alphas and the same thing happens. It seems to abort in the same spot. Here's the progress.txt:

Building structure 9991 generation 0
9 until next generation
1 generations buffered
Best Energy so far: 46.042

Always stops on structure 9991 in gen 0.

Here's the filelist.txt:
CurrentStruc 0 10001 126 0 0 8888 46.042 -2737.265 1644.555 51.240 614182912.000

Howard,

Here's some more information about that 'Floating exception(coredump)'.

I tried the client on Tru64 systems versions V4.0F, V4.0G, & V5.1B and it happens on all of them. They all abort at the same point, structure 9991 generation 0.

I looked thru some newgroups about this error on Tru64 systems and they mentioned this to avoid the error:

The `cc` compiler provides the option `-ieee_with_inexact'.
The recent GNU C Compiler 2.8.x has the option `-mieee'.

Hope this helps.

Im able to reproduce the error on our Alpha. Unfortunately, we have no debugger installed on it!!!

I can try the flag you suggested for the next build. I know roughly where its crashing but need a debugger to see what's going on of course... Lets hope the flag makes a difference. I can try compiling with it and then Ill see if it fixes the problem and post the results here in a while...

You were right, the IEEE flag seemed to have fixed it.
Thanks!

I downloaded the new version and it seems to be working.

I suspect you're rather busy since the switchover to Phase II so thanks for the quick response. I and my 20 Alphas are happy now. :D
