A number of users here have encountered segmentation violation errors (sigsegv), usually when trying to save models as a package, getting the error message "Action failed (save_package/signal/sigsegv)". Usually, the problem can be isolated to one part, and everything but that part can be saved, though today we had a case where nothing but one part could be saved. Other operations on the part may also produce an error, which will have "/sigsegv" as the last part of the message string. The part checker always shows no faults found. The part may not even have been modified in that particular session. I have submitted this problem to Support, but it is difficult for them to do anything since the culprit can't be saved, and there probably isn't anything wrong with the part itself. The problem, as I understand it, is a memory segmentaton issue, not a modeling problem. We are running OSD 11.60B on Win2000.
I encourage anyone else encountering this problem to notify Support and provide as much information as you can regarding OSD version, OS, hardware, etc. I would really like to see this problem fixed, as it can be a real productivity killer.
