DIB Lock Isue

[faten]

I'd start by appplying nw65sp8 and edir 8.7.3.10 FTF1 . But I think the fact that the DIB is locked during the hang is co-incidence, the DIB gets locked a lot.

If the hangs continue after the above, try to get into the debugger with shift-shift-alt-esc - this often works even if no other keys do. If nothing happens you almost certainly have a hardware fault. If you get to a # prompt you are in the debugger, it could be software or hardware. Do ? <enter> to see what module the hang happened in. If it always hangs in the same module it is likely to be a problem with that module, if it is always different modules it is likely to be a hardware fault. Enter Q <enter> to exit the debugger to Dos.

Thanks for the quick replay, Andrew. I'll apply the updates the first chance I get and appreciate your suggestions on what to do in the meantime.

I didn't see the DIB lock itself as an issue but wasn't sure if the number of Writers was just an indication that the lock had been in place for awhile or if it was a clue to the problem.
