Hi!

We have a Netware 5.1SP8, server running NDS and P.SQL 8.6.

When we boot it it loads btrieve and P.SQL using the

BSTART.NCF
MGTSTART.NCF

files.

Recently, BTCPCOM.NLM has failed to start. The log in PVSW.LOG is

01-09-2006 15:08:19 NWBSRVCM 00000040 NWBSRVCM.NLM CONCORDE
W NWBSRVCM-8: Btrieve Communications Manager could not load/initialize BTCPCOM.NLM (errno=21).

01-09-2006 15:08:19 BSPXCOM 00000040 BSPXCOM.NLM CONCORDE
I Btrieve SPX Communications Module 8.60.192.030
Copyright (C) Pervasive Software Inc. 2004
All Rights Reserved.

However, when we load it manually at the console all is well:

01-09-2006 15:24:02 BTCPCOM 00000040 BTCPCOM.NLM CONCORDE
I Btrieve TCP/IP Communications Module 8.60.192.030
Copyright (C) Pervasive Software Inc. 2004
All Rights Reserved.

The errno result is odd. Assuming it's errno as in the UNIX error number
then error 21 is 'is a directory'. This typically means something has
tried to do a file operation on a directory.

Assiuming it's a P.SQL/Btrieve error then error 21 is 'key buffer parameter
is too short'.

Neither of these make sense to me!

Any thoughts?

This is neither Btrieve nor Unix error. Instead, it is a NetWare OS
error number, and you'll need to look this up in the Novell manuals.

This is usually caused by a lack of memory. If the server is
physically low on memory, consider adding more. It may just be a
conflict at Startup where not enough memory is available for a short
time.

We've done several reboots and the problem is intermittent. Still no
clue as the underlying cause though.
