Libgc crashes with 'can't allocate header' error

We have tried to use libgc (http://developers.sun.com/solaris/articles/libgc.html) on Solaris to solve memory fragmentation problem in our product. It did work well for low volume tests. Memory drop was seen. But when subjected to heavy load, it crashes the server with 'Can't allocate header' error. Do any have an idea on what to do in such situations ?

Thanks for the explanation of incompatibility between Java GC for C++. Regarding multithreading support, I did mail to Boehm, Hans. The following is the excerpt from his reply:
"If you are going to try the open source GC, I would first try gc7.2alpha4, which is close to the current CVS version. You would probably need to build it with -DREDIRECT_MALLOC=GCmalloc or --enable-redirect-malloc to allow it to intercept plain malloc calls. This is likely to cause problems for a multithreaded Solaris application; I haven't tried recently."
Also, We've tried to compile gc6.8 and gc7.1 versions with redirect malloc and enable threads options. There's an explicit check for this in the gc code. If redirect malloc,enable threads are mentioned and if the OS is not Linux, the compilation fails. Multithreaded support with redirect malloc seems to be well tested on Linux and it is not guaranteed on Solaris. The reply from Boehm also confirms it. It would be nice if Solaris releases the latest version gc by resolving the programming interface changes.

Safari 4.0.4 & PhP 4 "Can't send header" error message

Everyone...
I am currently recoding many of our PhP templates & HTML to better conform to the newer browsers (IE 8, FF 3.6, Opera 10, Safari 4.0.4 and AOL 9) and cannot resolve the issue with the Safari browser...
Essentially, when going from one module to another (requiring a redirect header statement) the Safari 4.0.4 ALWAYS rejects the request with the "Cannot send header" error.
I recoded some of the Php code so it will not work in IE 7/8, Opera 10, FireFox 3.6, AOL 9.... Yet Safari 4.0.4 just does not want to work..
Does anyone have any suggestions? I am aware that when sending a new header (via redirect) that NOTHING can be posted to the browser ahead of the header request (ie: space, html command, etc...).
Thanks!

Thanks, as far as I know, there isn't one. Any other suggestions? I just uninstalled Thunderbird and deleted all saved settings and re-installed. Still not working.
thanks!

All CS2 apps crash with "Read Only Memory Exception" error.

Machine Specs.
Apple G5 1.8ghz DP
OS X 10.4.10
It doesn't matter which one I open, they all crash with the same error. This started when a user placed a support ticket for their mac not starting up. I wasn't able to save the user so I created a new user, and then moved their desktop files over to the new user. However the only files I moved were those on the desktop, and their Notes data directory.
Thinking my job done I marked the tickets closed and walked away.
I got a call later when the user came into the office and the issue was that Indesign CS2 was crashing with a "Read Only Memory Exception" error. I first deleted the Preferences on the machine. That didn't work.
So I created a new user to see if it was the user causing the errors. I received the same error when opening Indesign CS2 from the brand new user account. I also tested all other CS2 programs and got the same errors.
Next I tried deleting the CS2 programs and re-installing them. No luck, same error, even with a new user. I have not re-installed any plug-ins with the new App installs yet.
Removed all fonts, and ran a font cache cleaner. Same error.
Finally, the last thing I've tried is to manually remove every adobe application on the machine. Acrobat 5/6/7, CS1, CS2...etc. I have also removed any Adobe files/folders in the //library/, and /$home/Library/.
Yet I still get the same error. Short of a complete wipe I'm not sure where to proceed next. I'm really confused and hoping someone can give me some clues.

Thanks to a comcast permissions error any new files I upload to my comcast.net pages requires the administrator username/password to even see the file to download it. Simply giving out the URL for new files results in page not found errors.
So for the forseeable future I don't see any way to upload this file correctly. Its there on my webspace all 63megs of it. If I login through the FTP account I can upload and download to my hearts content but since anonymous access is disabled I'm not giving out my administrator login info.
I've got a gig of space, using 22mb of it, and can't upload any more files because no-one has permissions to access them.
I spent a half hour on the phone with comcast trying to figure this out. However I don't know whats going on with their end. I have a trouble ticket open for a level 3 tech, we'll see whats going on.
So the Font Scrubber will remain unavailable for the time being unless someone wants to give me guest upload access to a FTP account. I'm not opening a fileshare account with anyone, don't like'm.

Adobe Flash Player 11.9 r900 constantly crashes with a data execution prevention error.

This happens with almost every website I go to.

Hi moreofless, did a separate crash dialog indicate that it was a DEP error (sometimes the Windows crash dialog will indicate this)?
In some cases a DEP error can indicate that malware is attempting to interact with Flash, or that the Flash media you were using was malicious. It may be worth running a few supplemental scans just in case. The support article has suggestions on free tools that have proven reliable for Firefox users: [[Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware]].
A common problem on Windows Vista and higher is incompatibility with the protected mode feature of the Flash Player plugin. Usually this leads to frequent, unsubtle problems, so you might not have this problem, but just in case, you could disable it.
See this support article from Adobe under the heading "Last Resort": [http://forums.adobe.com/message/4468493#TemporaryWorkaround Adobe Forums: How do I troubleshoot Flash Player's protected mode for Firefox?]
Or if there are problems with permission, try this way:
(1) In a My Computer or Windows Explorer window, open this folder:
C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Macromed\Flash
If that folder does not exist, then you are using 32-bit Windows, and you can open the following folder instead:
C:\Windows\System32\Macromed\Flash
''(Note: This folder exists on both 32-bit and 64-bit Windows, but on 64-bit Windows Firefox uses the Flash player in the SysWOW64 folder instead.)''
(2) Check for a file named mms.cfg:
'''''Note:''' If you do not see file extensions such as .ocx, .dll, .exe, and .cfg on the files in this folder, then Windows may be hiding these from you. In order to work with file names accurately, it is best to unhide the extensions. This Microsoft support article has the steps: [http://support.microsoft.com/kb/865219].''
(A) ''If mms.cfg exists,'' drag it to your '''Documents folder''' where you can edit it without being bothered about administrator privileges
(B) ''If mms.cfg does not exist,'' open your '''Documents folder''', right-click > New > Text File and name the new file mms.cfg
(3) Open mms.cfg from Documents into a text editor such as Notepad.
Add this on its own line (I put it last):
ProtectedMode=0
Save the file and close Notepad.
(4) Hold down the Ctrl key and drag the mms.cfg file back to the Flash folder to make a copy there, keeping the original in Documents
This change will take effect once the Flash plugin is completely unloaded, which may require exiting and restarting Firefox (allow a few minutes for all the Flash processes in memory to terminate after exiting Firefox).

AE CS5 Crashing with Zero Denominator & Strange Situation errors

Good afternoon!
In AE CS5 for OSX, we've started observing a strange behavior:
- I have an AE project w/ footage loaded, including a Quicktime movie rendered out of another app (e.g., a 3D app)
- I need a change to the movie, so I re-render it from the 3D app, replacing the existing movie.
- In AE, I get impatient and click Reload Footage while the movie is still being re-rendered.
In past versions of AE, I got an error (unrecognized file type) but AE continued to operate. With CS5, I get a series of errors:
"may be an unsupported format" (expected)
"zero denominator in ratio addition"
"zero denominator comparing ratios"
"zero denominator converting ratio denominators"
"After Effects Error: Strange Situation"
Even after the movie finishes rendering, I keep getting the errors and clicking OK keeps presenting errors. Have to force-quit AE to get on with my day.
Is this a bug? New in CS5? I understand that I'm trying to do something "wrong" by loading a piece of footage that's invalid, but shouldn't I just get a polite "that piece of footage is no good", the ol' test-pattern, and be able to keep working and come back to it when it's ready?
Anyone else run into this?
--Rob

but shouldn't I just get a polite "that piece of footage is no good", the ol' test-pattern, and be able to keep working and come back to it when it's ready?
In theory yes, but as I just explained in another thread, 64bit AE vs. ye olde QT is full of workarounds and limitations due to Apple not seeming to care at all. That and the differences in 64bit file access on a more general level may lead AE to wrong conclusions. I'm sure it's a bug of sorts plus perhaps your 3D app (Cinema 4D?) could also do better by closing and re-opening the file from time to time so at least some parts are accessible instead of keeping it permanently open. For the time being, simply use image sequences...

(Unfortunately the log file is wioed out :-(( . Will post one when we get the crash )
Next time we try to start with same parameters the JVM can not allocate memory
==
Error occurred during initialization of VM
Could not reserve enough space for object heap
Could not create the Java virtual machine
==
If we decrease the heap mem to 1536m we can start the application (JVM can allocate memory for the heap)
After rebooting the system we get same error with a heap of 2048m
It is possible to start it with a heap of 1536m
The most curios is if I reinstall the system I can allocate a heap of 2048m to the next crash !!!
Where is the information for the JVM about the heap mem allocation?
It must be somewhere on the file system?

linux-x86 On Linux virtual memory relies on file space that exists on the harddrive which is dedicated to that purpose.
The file space is just like any other file space.
If that file space fills up, for any reason, then the OS will appear to run out of memory for applications.
The one time this happened to me the virtual space was mapped such that regular files were using the space. Specifically my log files. So as the log files grew the application memory decreased.And if the crashed JVM generates a core file...

FCP7 with Mavericks keeps crashing with BlackMagic error? Any suggestions..

I had to upgrade my MacPro to mavericks and I use FCP 7 with Black Magic Decklink extreme...every time I open a project and play a timeline it crashes with a blakc magic codec error...any suggestions as to how to get over this bug or do I just revert to an older osx???

Well, I'll state what I always have stated about FCP 7 and Mavericks...Mavericks was written without any consideration for FCP 7 working or not. FCP 7 is Quicktime based, and Apple is moving away from QT and towards "AV Foundation." So that's one aspect that's different. There might be other things in the code that make some functionality of FCP not as solid as it was when you ran it on OS versions that did take FCP 7 into consideration.
I know this doesn't involve RESOLVE, but CUDA might be something that can cause an issue. NOt sure...check everything that it might be.

NW04 Testdrive in Linux SuSE 9.3 64 Bit - Logon crashes with DB error

Hi there,
I just installed NW04 Testdrive on SuSE 9.3 32 Bit and it works fine .
But then I did the same on SuSE 9.3 64 Bit version and tried to logon using sapgui. The result is annoying because the logon screen crashes with the following ABAP runtime error: DBIF_RSQL_INVALID REQUEST in program SAPMSYST, include SAPMSYST, row 2529 in module NAME FILL_INFO_TAB. There is an error in databace interface while accessing table DOKTL.
I'm just asking whether MaxDB runs on 64 Bit SuSE Linux. Can anyone help?
Thanks in advance
Tobias

Hello Tobias,
according to the Software Downloads If there will be a Testdrive for 64 Bit Linux Systems.

Distiller "can't find font" error with MS-Gothic and ArialUnicodeMS

Hi. I'm tried to verify that Distiller (both 9 and XI) and PDF Generator (11.0 SP1) are able to generate PDFs from Postscript files using a variety of fonts. Almost every font that I tried works perfectly fine, but MS-Gothic and ArialUnicodeMS both fail with "can't find font" errors. I've verified font configurations in both Distiller and PDF Generator, and lots of other fonts work fine. I've also verified that the two fonts are installed, enabled, and can be used in other applications (e.g., MS Word). In fact, I can generate PDFs from MS Word documents on the same server that use both of those fonts. I suspect the errors are misleading in that those apps can find the fonts, but are unable to open or use them for some reason. I've been able to replicate this behavior both on Windows Server and Mac OS X.
Has anyone seen behavior like this? Any suggestions on how to get more information out of these Adobe apps to get a better idea what the real error is?
JJR

Addirional note: This is a java class within a JavaFX application if that is relevant.
It does seem to be relevant - if I create the same class as part of a Java application rether than a JavaFX application it compiles without error. Is the imported java.awt.GraphicsEnvironment different in the tow cases??

Import from Designer crashes with IMAGE data type

Hello,
I'd like to report an issue with Data Modeler while importing from Oracle Designer. If you consider this a bug, please let me know if I need to do anything else to request a fix for it.
I've used the import > Oracle Designer Model tool to import an application model. The import runs fine for a while, then crashes with a message "There are errors in import - check log file".
The application to be imported has 509 domains, 963 entities to import.
The summary info displayed after the import (when I close the error message pop up) is:
All statements: 1472
Imported statements: 538
Failed statements: 0
Not recognized statements: 934

I see the issue with the IMAGE data type in the log. The model to be imported does have domains and entities using this data type. The domain actually did get imported, but it shows as "Unknown" logical type, even though there is an Image type available in the Data Modeler type list. None of the entities using IMAGE got imported.
Please let me know if you can provide a fix or workaround for this (other than changing the format in Designer).
Thank you,
Beatriz.

Hello Beatriz,
definitely this is a bug. The problem with entities is not IMAGE data type it's supported there (it's overlooked for domains). The problem is volume information - Initial, Maximum, Average, Growth rate. No workaround for that.
Domain can be changed manually if it's just one affected.

Header error

Hey. I didn't see anything in the forums about a header error with .mov's, just wmv. So, I'm just trying to import 10.5GB worth of SD footage (720x480) into my project, but it's saying that there is a header error. If this issue has been answered for an MOV and I just didn't see it, just post a link to the reply and that's it....otherwise, any help here would be great.

This is a clear description of what you have done. Sorry if I sounded condescending, but you have to realize that what is utterly clear to you, we have to derive from your words, statements, and then it may easily be misinterpreted because of the wording used. Add to that, that English is not my native tongue, and you may grasp that I had some difficulty understanding you. Sorry, and you adequately corrected the problem I had.
Since these captured clips were wrapped in a MOV file, you will be better off with re-wrapping them in an AVI wrapper. Look for converters on Google.
There will be two sizable benefits for you:
1. It can remove the Header error, and
2. It will allow you to use the 64 bit nature of CS5 instead of the 32 bit limitation of QuiRcktime MOV files.
QuiRcktime is the most troublesome wrapper ever invented and completely destroys the 64 bit nature of CS5. It forces you back to the CS4 era.

Blue Screen Crash with CS3

Seems to me I've been through this in the past but don't recall the solution.
After a harddrive failure on my laptop I installed CS3 on my newly installed harddrive.
I then tried to open Premiere, it crashed with a Windows blue screen error message.
Then, I installed the latest CS3 patch and opened Premiere. While the files
were being cached(or whatever it's called) Premiere crashed again, same blue screen.
The blue screen went by pretty quickly, something about must shut down to prevent harm to computer.
Windows XP, intel duo core processor 2.0 GHz, 2GB RAM..same specs ran on with my old harddrive.

Thanks, Harm. It will help in giving the shop some kind of direction because they miss things even though it is their actual job to know these things.
I've felt that it was running hot, they had mentioned re-appling thermal paste to the processor a couple days ago but didn't stress it.
There are 2 different blue screen issues and one is solved:
1. The original irreparable crash which prompted me getting a new HD.
2. The blue screen crash... on the NEW harddrive.... whenever I tried to open Premiere.(which apparently was solved when they re-installed
Windows a 2nd time on my brand new HD because my computer no longer Blue screen crashes when Premiere loads.
Addressing the heat issue could prevent future BSOD crashes and may have prevented the original crash.
Also, does BSOD refer to the irreparable crashes which render your HD useless or ANY crash where a blue screen appears? I have been using BSOD to refer to a complete/total/final HD crash.
I don't smoke but these series of mishaps may get me started.
