RE: error window on compiles @ v5r1 OS

[Violaine Batthish <batthish@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Hi Buck,

I sincerely wish that I have saved you time, but I am afraid not :-(.
The problem is in the HOST version, not the client version (ie when
upgrading a V4R5M0 box to V5R1M0). And a one time delete of the user spaces
clears up the problem permanently. In addition, the only functionality in
CODE affected is the compile completion message and the events file
download.
Running with 1 PC using WDT V5R1M0 and 1 PC using WDSC V4.0 concurrently
should not cause a problem for CODE (as a matter of fact this is my current
set up).

Violaine's theory:

I think you have just solved a mystery, Violaine!  I am running a long
WebFacing conversion (it takes a week) on a W2K box with WDSc V4 signed on
as me.  I am also running Code on a Win98 box with V5R1 signed on as me.
Inexplicably, my WebFacing conversion went BOOM, and could not for the life
of me guess what had happened.  I believe the userspace difference is the
culprit, but I am NOT going to fire up a Code session just to see if it
wipes out my WebFacing session.  Sorry.  I don't have the weeks to waste...

Thanks for your insight!  You may have saved me a month's worth of work!
