Very Computer

Dear World,

I have been experiencing core dump - bus error. I know core dump - bus
error means trying to access an invalid or impossible address.  

I am running some GUI (Oracle 7.1.4 Forms 4.0.13.20.0 on a SGI
host (Onyx) and front end PCs are using eXceed 5 as a terminal emulation).
The problem is that I got the error "bus error - core dump" only when I am
using eXceed but when I try to run the Oracle software from the SGI
directly, the problem would not occur.  

On one hand I know core dumps are UNIX problem, but on the other hand,
why does the core dump only happens when I access via PC emulation ?  I
called Oracle and they claimed it is eXceed's bug, when I call eXceed,
they claim it is a UNIX bug and when I call SGI, they say it is either
Oracle or eXceed bug. That has been stagnant for almost 9 months now !  

May I know any good tool that I can isolate the problem and perhaps
better able to interpret the content of a core file ? I use dbx and
strings but both gives me meaningless information. Any suggestion(s) on
how I should proceed is appreciated.

Thank you so much.

The vendor of that program is the one that you need to harass...
