[GEMPAK #VWA-157385]: Kernel crash from dcmsfc



> Hello Steve,

Gilbert,

No. I'm running dcmsfc in real time here under FC7 and haven't seen any
decoder problems.

A common reason for a decoder to ger hung up is that something caused 
more than one decoder to be writing to the same file- eg if the LDM pqact 
filled up a pipe
and so started a second instance of the decoder. That would either be slow disk 
IO
by the decoder so that dcmsfc had to wait too long for pqact, or the decoder 
was stuck in a loop.

If this is a frequent problem, then examining the dcmsfc.log file might help.
If it is repeatable on reingesting data, than it could be a bad product. Since
I haven't seen any problems here under FC7, I don't think it is a
problem with a product since I would have expected to see that here, and my 2 
copies have been
up since Dec 4.
