OT: can''t capture debug infoFrom: andrew Date: Saturday, September 1, 2001
Time: 10:45:39 amHi All:
I have QDNS 3.5 running on a 7300/200/64/2gig OS 9.1
QDNS has 8-meg ram allocated, no other apps are running on it.
I have installed MacsBug 6.6.3
I have a Win2K server that's sending out an email list with about 37K names in
it. The QDNS server is defined in WinDoze's TCP/IP prefs, so it's resolving the
email addresses. The SMTP service on the Windoze box is throttled back to 16
outgoing connections.
If I send out a test distribution to 4,000 names, I see the DNS being queried to
resolve each domain. As the Win2K box churns through the list (about 10
minutes), I can watch the free memory in the QDNS window drop down to 100K and
then shoot back up to 1.5 meg before descending down again. I also observe the
"outstanding" and "queries per second" alternating between 0 & 8 during this
period.
The list completes and all is well. If I try to send the 37K list, somewhere
about midway through QDNS crashes and the MacsBug window comes up. However at
this point the keyboard is unresponsive so I can't type in StdLog or any other
command into the debugger to capture the crash. The debugger shows "QDNS...." at
the top of the hex code on the left side of the debug window.
I can power-cycle the mac from the keyboard but nothing else, like CapsLock,
works.
I've had this problem with a number of different versions of QDNS from 2.2 up on
several different boxes (7100/7250/7300-180) running OS 8.6 and 9.1 and it
happens every time with different lists of this size.
It happens both with IIS 4 and IIS 5 SMTP service, and the higher the number of
outgoing connections the faster the DNS crashes.
I'm trying to capture a debug log but can't...has anyone else experienced this?
Is there a way to set MacsBug to dump a log automatically?
TIA, Andrew Kagan
