Hi all,

Has anybody managed to crash their HP3000 using the freeware webserver yet?
I was playing around with a tiny cgi script (I'm a newbie in cgi) and hung
up the system just like that. The gci contained

        !/bin/sh
        echo Content-type: text/plain
        echo
        callci 'fortune.exe.utools < $NULL'

and when loading this from within Netscape 2.0 (Hp_UX 10.10) the HP3000
console displayed

        ** NetIPC internal error: Failed to get a PFLD pointer (128)
        ** NetIPC internal error: Failed to get a PFLD pointer (128)
        SYSTEM ABORT 614 from SUBSYSTEM 143
        SYSTEM HALT 7, $0266
        ...
        FLT DEAD

The funny thing is that it worked fine when the callci line was:

        callci 'run fortune.exe.utools;stdin=$null'

but I wanted to get rid of the 'END OF PROGRAM' message, and could not
remember how to use a implied run. The redirect from $NULL seemed like
a good idea at the time.

BTW Apart from 3 minor hickups in the makefile the HP JAZZ webserver
works like a champ.
