Known problems and workarounds
This section discusses problems and workarounds for HP PRM Version C.02.03.
xprm
Issue
xprm cannot edit invalid configuration files.
Workaround
Use prmconfig -s to locate problems in the file. Fix the file in a text editor.
prm3d consumes excessive resources
Issue
Because of a pthread issue triggered by Java, prm3d can occasionally become
a runaway process, consuming excessive CPU resources.
Workaround
If you notice this condition, a short-term solution is to stop prm3d:
# /opt/prm/bin/prm3d -stop
prm3d is used only by the PRM GUI, xprm. If you do not plan on using xprm,
leave prm3d stopped. If you will be using xprm, restart prm3d:
# /opt/prm/bin/prm3d
The long-term solution to this problem is to patch the pthread library. Also,
Java 1.4.1 itself had an issue with its use of pthreads that has been
addressed in newer versions. (PRM on HP-UX 11.11 ships with Java 1.4.2.)
Using Java requires certain patches, including the one referenced below. For

recommended for Java JRE 1.4.2.
