[Dpcl-develop] Re: bcreate - stdin and stdout

[Steve C. <sl...@sg...>]

   Many thanks to DaveW for his testcase on this issue. Unfortunately
 it doesn't work with the Hybrid implementation. The 'bstart' is done and
 then things just sit in a 'zombie state'. Obviously somebody is waiting for
 some sort of signal, but nobody is accumulating cpu time - not dpclSD, not dpcld,
 not the mutator, not even hello. Of course I suspect that Dyninst is mucking
 things up somewhere, somehow. We have resources at UW-Madison that can help
 us out, once I am able to sharpen the focus on just where the problem lies.
 Right now I'm a little blurry-eyed. Not unusual for me though with one giant
 (DPCL) pitted against another giant (Dyninst). I need about 3 of myself right
 now - do a little parallel processing I guess. 

   Thanks Dave, as always, for your rapid and helpful response. I'll get back
 to you when my bleary-eyed state resolves itself.
