This chapter describes known runtime problems. You may also want to refer to the online runtime_bugs file in the SUNWrdm package on the Solaris 7 3/99 CD for additional runtime problems.
The information in this chapter supplements any information listed in the runtime_bugs file that is part of the SUNWrdm package on the Solaris 7 3/99 CD. If you boot from the Solaris 7 3/99 CD, the runtime_bugs file is located in the directory:
/cdrom/sol_7_399_x86/s2/Solaris_2.7/Docs/release_info/C
The default installed location for the runtime_bugs file is the directory:
/usr/share/release_info/Solaris_2.7/C
The name of this product is Solaris 7 but code and path or package path names may use Solaris 2.7 or SunOS 5.7. Always follow the code or path as it is written.
When debugging a multi-threaded program with a signal handler on a given thread stack, dbx 4.0 cannot successfully dump the thread's stack.
Workaround: Use dbx 5.0.
