Previous versions of MONITOR.NLM could cause a "General Protection Processor Exception (GPPE) running process Monitor Background process" error on the server.
In previous versions of MONITOR if an application such as the PServer was unloaded remotely via PCONSOLE it would cause the console to unlock.
These previous versions could cause a "General Protection Processor Exception (GPPE) running process Monitor Background process" error on the server. This would generally occur when MONITOR was loaded for extended periods of time (30 days or so) and was caused by resource contention between the foreground and background processes of MONITOR. This version supercedes previous versions and includes all such fixes.
SOLUTION:
This file (MONITOR.NLM v1.68) (PTF)(930823) includes a fix to keep the console locked in MONITOR under all conditions.
