From U Mon Sep 8 00:00:00 1980 From: U (U) Date: 8 SEP 1980, 00:00 Subject: No subject Message-ID: Hello. I am Dave Levitt's music box line. I like to send characters randomly to the AI machine over T33. Guess what I did today! I sent a ^Z and then after a while managed to send "UU" to log myself in. Isn't that marvelous? All I really did after that today was send a lot of "?" characters. I know ALL about DDT and ITS now. But just as I was working on trying to send :LOCK CRASH, some luser took my tree away from me. Now I have to start all over and try to get AI to listen to me again. You see, my buddy the PDP-6 (T06) and I have a little contest going to see who can cause the first system crash by sending garbage down the line. He's ahead of me: a few days ago he managed to get up a peek and type ^B to it. 80 blocks of USERS5;.PEEK. 1. Ahhh, but now I've logged in...

The bug was a PUSH P,TTEBAK which wanted to be a PUSHJ. --Howard From HICatMIT-MC Sun Sep 7 00:00:00 1980 From: HICatMIT-MC (Howard I.

David Lebling) To: BUG-its at MIT-DMS Re: BUG => its In case anyone wants to look at it, a crash of ITS 1193 is on DM:.;CRASH 5535. It crashed at UUOH0+2. I looked at another crash at UUOH0+2. It trapped from PI7 while PUSHJ'ed to the echoin code. It was hacking TTY 0 (I contained MOVE), and 1(p) had IBP B (CRASH 5535 seems identical). Unfortunatly, it did a pretty good job of wiping out its tracks, so I couldn't tell where it came from, but it is pretty clear that it POPJ'ed with the IBP B on the stack (XUUOH contained C, of course).

It works okay except that ECHOIN seems to echo in the command area after the first character typed. Looking at TS3TTY 258 vs. 255 indicates new code that fools around with that sort of thing. I suspect it's buggy... From RWKatMIT-MC Mon Sep 1 00:00:00 1980 From: RWKatMIT-MC (Robert W. Kerns) Date: 1 September 1980, 00:00 Subject: The datacomputer is no more! Message-ID: The problem is really that the datacomputer was discontinued last March or so. There were system messages about it long in advance. You must have missed seeing them or something. I don't know if there is any way to recover your files, although the fact that you were to connect at all would seem to indicate they are providing some sort of limited service, perhaps to allow recovery in cases such as yours. Perhaps sending a note to someone at CCA will help?
