[daip] aips hangs

[Ulrich Hiller]

  Hello,
I have a problem with a hanging aips. The messages are:
:~> /aips/START_AIPS tv=local
START_AIPS: Will use or start first available Unix Socket based TV

You have a choice of 3 printers.  These are:

     No. [ type  ] Description
-------------------------------------------------------------
      1. [     PS] laps w
      2. [     PS] laps i
      3. [     PS] laps e
-------------------------------------------------------------

START_AIPS: Enter your choice, or the word QUIT [default is 1]:
START_AIPS: Your initial AIPS printer is the laps w
START_AIPS:  - system name laps_w, AIPS type PS

START_AIPS: User data area assignments:
DADEVS.PL: This program is untested under Perl version 5.010
   (Using global default file /rw/aips/DA00/DADEVS.LIST for DADEVS.PL)
    Disk 1 (1) is /home/aips/DATA/AIDA47_1
    Disk 2 (2) is /disk1/aips/DATA/AIDA47_2
    Disk 3 (3) is /disk2/aips/DATA/AIDA47_3
    Disk 4 (4) is /disk3/aips/DATA/AIDA47_4
    Disk 5 (5) is /disk4/aips/DATA/AIDA47_5
    Disk 6 (6) is /disk5/aips/DATA/AIDA47_6
    Disk 7 (7) is /disk6/aips/DATA/AIDA47_7

Tape assignments:
    Tape 1 is REMOTE
    Tape 2 is REMOTE

START_AIPS: Starting TV servers on aida47 asynchronously
START_AIPS:  - WITH Unix Sockets as requested...
START_AIPS: Starting TPMON daemons on AIDA47 asynchronously...

UNIXSERVERS: Start message server MSSRV1 on aida47, display localhost:10.0
STARTPMON: [AIDA47] Starting TPMON1 with output SUPPRESSED

AIPS 1: Enter user ID number
?1000

Then aips hangs. The X-Aips-tv-screen, the aiops-teksrv-window and the 
aips-msgsrv-window came up. No error messages.
The computer is freshly booted (before it did not work either), /tmp is 
cleaned.
The system is opensuse 11.2 x86_64

This happens also on new aips versions.

How can I debug to know what the problem is?
I do not know whether it gives a clue, but the aips disks are on a nfs 
mounted disk.

With kind regards and thank you for your help, ulrich hiller
