Bi Writer causing proshut to hang - Why and What to do
In 6.3E and earlier 6.3 releases, and 7.2 and earlier there is a bug
with the bi writer where for some reason it will attempt to put
output to the screen. It should not be doing this as it is not
associated with a tty. Should this happen it may cause proshut to
hang, and the bi writer process may become runaway when you attempt
to shut down the database.
To prevent this, start the biw by redirecting output to a file:
probiw <dbname> > /tmp/bi.err
The file for the most part will remain at 0 bytes, and on the rare
occasion where the bi writer tries to write to the screen, it will be
caught in the bi.err file.
This bug is fixed in 6.3F and 7.3A releases.
