Error message, can anyone make sense out of this?

[Justin Nunemacher]

I got this error message on my B2000 with 11.0. I was running an analysis program call patran 2001 and it dumped out on me. Any help would be appreciated.

SIGSEGV is a segmentation violation, probably due to a request for more memory or stack space and the current kernel fences or memory maps prevent this increase. Change the kernel parameters maxdsiz and maxssiz, maxdsiz to about 300 megs and maxssiz to 16 megs. You can use SAM to make the changes and then reboot.

The swapinfo error messages are due to the script used in running the PATRAN program. It has a root-only command (swapinfo) in it and it fails with the message shown. It looks like (at the end of the parameter dump) that the two swapinfo requests were used to fill in the Total Swap Space: kbytes and Free Swap Space: kbytes. Since the commands failedm the Kbytes have no numbers, but this did not contribute to the program problem.

Hi,

Did you see this web page?
www.mscsoftware.com/support/documentation/patran/v2001/install/ pdf/ops_manual2001r2.pdf

It suggests the required kernel parameter's that needs change in it's value and the recomended values.
parameters recommended value
---------- -----------------
maxdsiz (90% of swap)
maxtsiz (64 MB)
maxssiz (64MB)

fsasync 1
default_disk_ir 1
maxusers 100

Hope this is what you are looking for.
