Hi,

many thanks to the following peoples:

>We have a sun 4/330 running 4.1 SunOS; when I tried to execute sunview it
>returned with a message "Segmentation Fault"; I swapped memory, cpu, and
>built a new kernel and many other things but the problem still there.

Hal Stern of Sun Microsystems mentioned:

1) use the command "trace sunview" to pin point where sunview blew up
   and check the file which blew up while executing sunview. I replaced
   /usr/lib/libpixrect.so.2.8, rebooted the system and it is back in
   business.

The systems administrator of this particular system had the root's .cshrc
automatic loading sunview; since sunview never could execute so root got
knock off everytime. Again, many thanks to all of you.
