>From: Unidata User Support <address@hidden> >Organization: Unidata Program Center/UCAR >Keywords: 200211141550.gAEFoBL01971 Hi Robert, I noticed that Mark Chambers of Universal Wx made a MUG inquiry that said "DMSYN takes over CPU and process has to be halted...then restarts OK". While trying to troubleshoot a DMSYN problem on Gilbert Sebenste's RedHat 8.0 Linux machine (using GCC 3.2 (gcc and g77)), I found a lot of memory leaks and potential memory leaks in routines called by XCD decoders and for the potential for an infinite loop in m0syndec.for I made a number of fixes to the following routines to try and solve Gilbert's problem: stnqry.c m0syndec.for m0shpdec.for mcinfoid.for M0buildidt.c So, my questions are: o is UniWx is still experiencing a DMSYN problem o if yes, does the problem correspond with the creation of a new output MD file o on what machine (OS, etc.) are you seeing the problem o what compilers were used to build McIDAS-XCD o if you are still experiencing the problem, are you interested in trying out my code changes It could well be that I have found the problem that DMSYN is running into, but I should know more later today when it tries to create new MD files. BTW, I will be looking into the GMS problem you reported sometime today. Tom
