- I just ran across the following problem: Several processes on a system running
- VMS v5.4-1 were persistently in RWMPB state. They remained in that state for
- several minutes, and I have reason to believe that they'd been that way for
- several hours. When I tried to find out what was going on by using
- ANALYZE/SYSTEM it turned out that using the SHOW PROCESS command from that
- utility kicked them out of the RWMPB state (presumably by queueing a special
- kernel mode AST to the processes in question so that ANAL/SYS could get
- information about them). Is this a known bug? Has it been fixed? If so, in
- which version of VMS? Thanks in advance.
