Error description

  • DataStage job aborts with fatal error "Operator terminated
    abnormally: received signal SIGABRT" on Information Server
    Version 8.1 after application of Fix Pack 1. Customer reports
    the job was running to completion successfully before the fix
    pack was applied.
    
    Customer has SUSE Linux operating system on Intel platform, and
    the DataStage job log also includes glibc stack trace
    information reported for the failure. The top level of the
    stack trace:  *** glibc detected ***
    /u/InfoServ/applic/is81suite/IBM/InformationServer/Server/PXEngi
    ne/bin/osh.exe: free(): invalid next size (normal): 0x08417e60
    ***
    

Local fix

  • Removing the NLS map, or setting the array and transaction sizes
    to one will eliminate the problem, however this will not be a
    valid solution if these values are required.
