We just got the PC AT SIMULATOR from IBM yesterday which is meant to be 
similar to the VP/ix of SCO Xenix.  It is and works rather well except, once
it's been running for a while we get

PgSpace low
Kill Process(es) NOW.
Entering Synch Mode

etc.. then after a while it goes away... Mostly when I access lp0 
(parallel, mono card) for any reason.  A call to IBM only suggests we
increase our page space.  Our page space on this machine is already 24000blks.
There was only one user on the system.. No terminals and just the one printer.
This is a 6150-025.  I haven't tried it on our 6151-115's yet but I don't 
imagine this will be any different.  Also using V2.2 of AIX...  

	Has anyone else experienced a "13c6" after using the Parallel 
printer extensively?  We have a bunch of customers running AIX 2.1.2 and
they don't get this problem.  Now, our new customers are getting this "13c6"
primarily when using the parallel printer.  It's not easily reproducible
and happens with IBM Proprinter's, QuietWriter's and HP-LaserJet Series II.
This is a Page fault error so I'm also thinking it may be related to my
problem with the Simulator.  Another piece of information you might be 
interested in is the fact that one of our clients had V2.1.2 until their 
machine crashed so I reinstalled 2.2 in the machine (they were due for an
upgrade.  bad news)... Now their machine constantly get's 13c6.  They're
running a 6151-115 with 4Meg's of RAM, 71 meg drive, 11 terminals and
4 printers. 

Other configurations include 6151-115 with 310Meg drive and a 6150-135
with 16MB ram and a 310MB drive.  The problem doesn't seem to be model
specific.  Just OS specific.

(when I refer to 13c6, I refer to the numeric display flashing 13 and c6
repeatedly and the machine being hung.)

calls to IBM result only in "oh, do you have this fix level? no? we'll send
it out to you.  LEt us know what happens."  3 weeks and 2 fixes later nothing
is changed.  I've increased the page space on some of the machines by an
exorbitant amount but it only seems to increase the amount of time between
13c6's.

   has ANYONE experienced this?  This is running our customers as well as
myself RAGGED.
