[ts-gen] questions on journal tables

[Nils Gebhardt]

Hi, 

upgrading from an 2009-04-27 to shim-090706, I am experiencing some new
problems. 
More precisely, running some order scripts, I get segmentation faults,
when reaching the submit stage. Not always, but almost always, without
that I can recordnize any systematic pattern. The same happen when I
enter the same commands manually into a shim session. Next I tried the 
exs/risk.rb script. This runs fine, but even more strange, when I enter
the commands provided in risk.rb manually into a shim session, I get the
same segmentation faults as before. As a side effect, I get records in
the table OrderStatus with status 'Submitted' set, which are actually
not submitted - they stay as prepared line in the tws screen when the
segmentation fault occurs during the submit command. In this case there
are also no records in the log/ShimText file. As said before, in about
5% of all tries there is a success - so I assume there is no syntax
error or similar involved. I tried to increase all wait commands, but no
success. 

Any hints? 


regards

Nils
