 Notes from my 3 ring binder dated Feb 11/94.
 
System crash caused by TURBOGTX counters not being incremented
properly.  There was an Image patch(number???) that supposedly fixed
this, but not for us.  Our work around was to purge turbogtx.pub.sys
nightly.
 
My version of RC response:  ' Certain image calls increment counters in
turbogtx.pub.sys, but its not used very often. It seems that Gupta PC
API(A.FO.28 at that time) and the way PowerBuilder calls it perform
this operation more often.  Problem occurs when arithmetic counters
are incremented, overflow, and an arithmetic trap occurs.'
