Re: MiniVend Crash on Digital Unix
I've tried setting MaxServers to '0' with no luck.
I have made somewhat of a break through however. I installed MV 3.11. At
first, I experienced the same problem. However, when I set SafeSignals to
NO, it ran fine. However, this directive is not available in MV 3.12.
Suggestions?
