- Greetings, all. DECW$PAINT gives me the following when I run it:
-
- $run sys$system:decw$paint
- Paint Error: BadAlloc - insufficient resources
- Paint Error: BadDrawable - parameter not a Pixmap or Window
- Paint Error: BadAlloc - insufficient resources
- Paint Error: BadDrawable - parameter not a Pixmap or Window
-
- The main window is created. Then when I attempt to open an existing DDIF
- file, I get:
-
- XIO: fatal IO error 65535 on X server "WSA2:"
- after 962 requests (951 known processed) with 1 events remaining.
- %XLIB-F-IOERROR, xlib io error
- -SYSTEM-F-LINKDISCON, network partner disconnected logical link
-
- ...and the main window goes away.
-
- I experience the same behaviour when I draw anything and attempt to save it.
- Any mouse click in the main mindow generates the "Paint Error: BadDrawable -
- parameter not a Pixmap or Window" error.
-
- Decw$paint behaves correctly after the machine is rebooted. I'm running
- VMS 5.4, Decwindows and an NCD X terminal. Is this a known problem with
- the version I'm running? I suspect that the solution to this problem might
- be "Upgrade to VMS 5.5 and Decwindows Motif". Has anyone else seen this
- behaviour in Decw$paint? This frequency of this behaviour seems to be
- directly proportional to the length of time that the machine has been up.
- At a particular point, PAINT will become unusable, as described above.
-
- I don't think the "insufficient resources" error has anything to do with my
- UAF record, as I don't get that error after the system is rebooted. Anyway,
- for completeness, I've included my UAF record:

- Thanks for any info - I'll summarize to this group when a solution is found.
