Re: [uml-user] xterm got kill when i run application in uml, how come ?

Thanks Lars.
Actually i did more testing, without my app, i just start 20 UMLs all together, some xterms got killed.So the problem is UML, not my app.
I left the error message in the company, but briefly the TAP devices have issues.In my case, each UML has a static ip. When all 20 starts, you can easily see the error with stack trace.
Now if i run all these in a vm in a vmWare server, it's even easier to reproduce, everything seems to be slower.
So far this project turns out to be a mess and i'm praying they won't fire me.
