$ ON CONTROL activation crashes process with NOHANDLER error

Hello every body,

After patching OpenVMS 8.3 with some rating 1 & 2 patches (PCSI V2, UPDATE V6, SYS V8, RMS V7, FIBRE_SCSI V4, DECNET ECO2, TCPIP 5.6 ECO2, MANAGE V3, TRACE V1), I falldown in a strange process crash.

type tmp.com
$!------------------------------------------------------------------------------
$ delete /symb /all /local
$ delete /symb /all /global
$!ERR! on control then $ exit
$ pipe (show symb * | type sys$pipe /page)
$ inquire tmp
$ dir/dat sys$sysdevice:[*...]*.*;* /page
$ exit
$!------------------------------------------------------------------------------

if you spawn this proc, pressing CTRL/Y on DIR command ends the process.

if you delete "!ERR!" comment on the 4th line to activate the "ON ERROR" statement, pressing CTRL/Y on DIR command ends the process with :

Improperly handled condition, bad stack or no handler specified.

%DCL-S-RETURNED, control returned to process _FTA3:
%SYSTEM-F-NOHANDLER, no condition handler found


It could be on a DECTerm, a telnet from windows or a set host...
Spawn was just to prevent signon after each process crash...
Before these patches, it was working well...
It works well on other systems before these patches...

Any idea ???

Re: $ ON CONTROL activation crashes process with NOHANDLER error

Crashes of most any sort are bad.

Something has romped on that stack.

Call HP support. They're going to want a look at this.

FWIW, that's a very nice concise reproducer and one of the better problem statements I've seen posted. But only HP has the source code to DCL, et al.

Re: $ ON CONTROL activation crashes process with NOHANDLER error

Did you reboot (as required for update v6) ?

Re: $ ON CONTROL activation crashes process with NOHANDLER error

Not after each patch, but after this group
PCSI-V0200, UPDATE-V0600, SYS-V0900, RMS-V0700, FIBRE_SCSI-V0400, DNVOSIECO02-V0803, TCPIP-V0506-9ECO2.

Here is the mistake ?

Re: $ ON CONTROL activation crashes process with NOHANDLER error

VMS83A_RMS V8.0 : installed
Not found on web patch page. What is the content ?

VMS83A_SMGRTL_MUP V1.0 : installed
arrived yesterday on web page. Could have a link to my problem. (stack corruption on SMG)

Re: $ ON CONTROL activation crashes process with NOHANDLER error

So, you did boot at the end of the patching process ? Seems ok then.

Had undefined strange stuff once between install and reboot (7.3). Went away after the boot.

Re: $ ON CONTROL activation crashes process with NOHANDLER error

VMS83A_RMS V8.0:

has been put on hold, because it tries to set the VMS Versionstring and fails. A new patch (V9.0) was announced to be available real soon, but until now, nothing happened.

I appended the textfile for your information.

Re: $ ON CONTROL activation crashes process with NOHANDLER error

Hoff,
I opened the ticket to my support. I hope they would transmit...

Sorry for my english but I can't find meaning nor translation of abbreviations you use : "FWIW" and "et al."

VMS83A_SMGRTL_MUP installed but not solved.

I will wait for support before continuing to patch.
