ipcrm -m command generates core dump

HP 8400 UNIX 11.11

Need help in determining cause of core dump generated during daily admin tasks.

This is the sequence of events that lead to core dump:

rlogin to soaprod3 as root
date (to double check the time)
cmviewcl
cmhaltpkg soapkg2
after package is down
cmviewcl
ipcs -m| grep -v root
ipcrm -m sequential list of mflagged asms and oracle memory segments example ipcrm -m200 -m201 -m202 -m203 BOOM!!!

My first cut at this would be to remove each identifier with a separate ipcrm command. You might try installing PHCO_29689, PHKL_23400, and PHKL_23401.

Running "file core" would tell you which program generated it as well as on what signal it did it die.

Thanks for all the advice.

It appears as if this is a known issue, and HP has a patch available to fix it...
