Getting Bus Error core dump on install.ksh
Cause
Resolving The Problem
Made a seperate shell script using the function GetResponse and called each of
the GetResponse called in the original script with the actual values
substituted. Found one which had created a core file and increased the length
of the string passed by one (or) decreased the length by one. This solved the
problem.
This is an operating system error. A string is stored into
memory by the operating system. If this part of the memory is corrupted , then
the next invocation with the string constant could cause a bus error. In such
cases , changing the string constant causes the string constant to be stored
anew and the problem will go away.
