Over the last month, we have been beset by a rash of difficulties with
the WDSF Mac Client, which I can only characterize at this point as
'abends', as I'm not yet conversant with Mac-speak. The error messages are
coming from the Mac OpSys, not from WDSF and have varied forms:
"'WDSF' Bus error 1 (or 3)", "Bad F-line instruction", "'WDSF' Illegal
Instruction."
These problems have occurred suddenly, and on more than one system. Currently,
they have cropped up on about 10% of our Mac clients.
Furthermore, they are sometimes corrected by a reinstall (sometimes not),
and sometimes seem to disappear for no apparent reason. At this point, there
doesn't seem to be a common thread which characterizes these failures. Before
I embark on the potentially long journey to sort all this out, I thought I'd
ask if anyone has seen this problem with the WDSF client before, and
if they have any insight as to where I should be looking for the cause.
Thanks in advance.
