Don,
It turns out that the problem was related to the number of available
file descriptors that the system would allow to be opened. I ran a truss
on the cleartool process, and the last call it made before dumping core
was to the system to get the "rlimits" (the resource limits,
specifically the offending line was in the /etc/system file: set
rlim_fd_cur=1024
This line set the available number of file desctiptors to 1024;
clearcase was happy when we set the number to the default (by commenting
out the line and rebooting) or by manually lowering the limit via:
ulimit -n 512
Strings on the core file dumped quite a bit of information, but it did
not prove as useful as I had hoped.
Regards,
Scott
