Well that sort of implies you really haven't identified what part of
SMSTART is dieing.

That probably means you don't have DPATH set up quite right. I suspect
the trap formatting code is looking for OSO001.MSG or perhaps DDE4.MSG
which are not always correctly installed.

Don't do that yet.

These are all exactly the same trap, so I suspect data corruption. Rerun
the FFST Setup (Desktop -> OS/2 System -> Problem Determination Tools) and
see if that's enough to fix it. You can also try invoking the System
Error Log viewer in the same folder and clear the log.

If that's not enough to clean up the corruption take a look in
\OS2\SYSTEM\RAS and delete the files that look like data, indexes and
configuration. These are probably the .DMP .DAT and .FFS file.

I suspect we will do better getting rid of the FFST traps and seeing what,
if anything, is left to fix.

Regards,

Steven
