Hello,

I am using DCE 1.3 on AIX3.2.5 with ParcPlace Smalltalk 1.0 
for multi-Threaded client/server application.
On the client side I have Smalltalk in a single thread
(Smalltalk is used to build X gui, and it is not thread-safe).

Upon request from gui I will create a new thread with request to a
server. It works OK except for one problem>
On the client side, when process size reach ~13MB ( there is 64 Mb on
the machine) it will crash. There is no memory leaks, Process is growing
because of new data being loaded in, the same stuff coded in C works properly.

I would like to know does anyone have similar experience, with
non-threadsafe X GUI in a single thread and multiple DCE Threads. 
I believe that I saw something similar last week.


Thanks in advance
