- We see an intermittent problem in PL20 on a Sequent Symmetry under PTX (SVR3).
- Just occasionally, ELM fails to start the defined editor, and we get
-
- Unable to invoke /uol/bin/ue for composition
-
- I did a local patch to show the errno value, and it's 1 (EPERM). It's been seen
- when doing a r)eply; don't know if it happens in other circumstances.
-
- Once this happens, you don't ever seem to be able to start the editor in the
- same ELM session; but exiting and restarting it will put it right. We don't see
- any problems starting this editor from anything else.
