The Question is:
Why decc$to_vms goes to infinite loop?
The Answer is :
Please contact the support center, and expect to be asked for a full
reproducer of the error -- the OpenVMS Wizard would expect you will
also have some difficulty creating a small reproducer, as well, given
one of the more common causes of the error described.
Based not on evidence or examples bug on a guess, the OpenVMS Wizard
would initially suspect that the memory heap is corrupted prior to
the call to decc$to_vms -- many C RTL calls use heap memory, and
a corrupted heap can cause the exact sympotoms described here; the
application hangs.
