I recently have been trying to port some software to run under
BTL Unix 4.0 and 5.0. In these attempts, I have experienced
both "IOT trap - core dumped" and "EMT trap - core dumped".
Referring to signal(2), I find that those result from IOT and
EMT instructions, respectively. What the manual doesn't say
is what these instructions are.
How do these signals occur? and what do they mean? Am I doing
something wrong?
The other signals are fairly easy to figure out, but these two
have me puzzled.
