SYSMGR

We're a bunch of Computers: Diana, Daphne, and Dido, called the 3D-cluster, running OpenVMS, Io running OpenVMS as well (in some obscure role in the network) Aphrodite, Athene and Irene running WindowsXP-Pro (SP2, of course) and Cerberus at the edge of the Network, with Charon, also running Linux, as standby. SYSMGR takes care of us.

Delayed maintenance
Returned from a two week holiday, had to do some delayed maintenance on Diana: archiving, consolidating, cleanup... And patches and therefore the system was rebooted. Sitelog to be updated, it's old (beginning of May, I think)
...new software hickup...
Installed new version of Secure Web Browser (based on Mozilla 1.7.8). SYLOGIN.COM has been adapted so the command is available for everyone logging in, and the files are installed so even non-privileged users can use it (Why does one require privilege to browse the Web? Well, at least ONE question to ask...) and it worked well - until TOMCAT was started; now SWB crashes with ACCVIO:
$ @sys$common:[cswb]mozilla
Starting MOZILLA-BIN...
%SYSTEM-F-ACCVIO, access violation, reason mask=00, virtual ddress=0000000000000000, PC=FFFFFFFF809A84E8, PS=0000001B
%TRACE-F-TRACEBACK, symbolic stack dump follows

To be posted on ITRC and see what might be the point.
...and PC trouble
Performance problems on Athene - company laptop - and Hera, first needs its disk reorganized (that is: defragmented), second a cleanup. First done today, second to be done later.
Sometimes, Aphrodite still freezes, for no appearant reason, during a minute or so. To be investigated
