Haflich) Organization: MIT, Cambridge, MA Lines: 12 Your problem with "Frantz" sounds like a dereference of a zero pointer. In the VAX implementation nil is stored at location zero, so erroneous references through a null pointer see nil. In the SUN implementation, location zero is unmapped, so zero references get a bus error. Does this help? You should first understand that Franz exists in many versions. The last "public domain" release from Berkeley was Opus 38.91, now about two years old. The latest release from Franz Inc. is (approximately) Opus 42.15. It makes little sense to discuss bugs without specifying both the machine and version number.
