What I found gave me that old sinking feeling: machine dataset #MERC #PS Total OSystem Compilers --------------+---------------+------+------+------+--------+--------- adde.unidata RTGRIDS/AVN.9 368 1212 1580 x86 SC5.0 wxmcidas.nsbf RTGRIDS/AVN.9 368 1212 1580 x86 SC5.0 windfall.evsc RTGRIDS/AVN.9 368 1212 1580 SPARC SC4.2 psnldm.nsbf RTGRIDS/AVN.9 368 1212 1580 SPARC SC5.0 adde.unidata RTGRIDS/AVN.19 296 713 1009 x86 SC5.0 wxmcidas.nsbf RTGRIDS/AVN.19 296 713 1009 x86 SC5.0 windfall.evsc RTGRIDS/AVN.19 296 713 1009 SPARC SC4.2 psnldm.nsbf RTGRIDS/AVN.19 254 565 819 SPARC SC5.0 adde.unidata RTGRIDS/AVN.29 148 612 760 x86 SC5.0 wxmcidas.nsbf RTGRIDS/AVN.29 148 612 760 x86 SC5.0 windfall.evsc RTGRIDS/AVN.29 148 612 760 SPARC SC4.2 psnldm.nsbf RTGRIDS/AVN.29 133 212 345 SPARC SC5.0 This means that one of three things is possible: o a change was made to one of the XCD configuration files after the AVNs started coming in (you would have had to have done this; I didn't). I don't have any hope that this is what happened, but... o there is something wrong with the dmgrid.k executable on your SPARC. This could be a Sun SC5.0 thing that we were facing before without realizing it. I offer this as a possibility since 'windfall' (machine at UVa) is a Sun SPARC, but they use the Sun SC4.2 compilers. o there is some sort of systematic problem on psnldm. What this could be, I have no idea. As soon as you assure me that the first option above is not a possibility, we can two different options: o FTP and rebuild the distribution from scratch on psnldm. This will eliminate the possibility that some other routine that should have been recompiled wasn't. o FTP the UVa version of dmgrid.k to your machine and let it run there. This would eliminate the possibility that psnldm has a some sort of systematic problem. Tom
