The problem was a missing carriage return in the stanza file I used to
change some kernel values using sysconfigdb on the "guilty" member.
As a result the very last line of /etc/sysconfigtab was missing the
carriage return. As soon as the CR has been placed there (using an
editor), dxkerneltuner worked properly.

Ciao from Italy to everybody,
Emanuele

================================================ original mail
Good morning from Italy.

On my 2-members 5.1B (1st patch) cluster (AS40 + AS45) I have just
discovered that on member 0 (ES45) I can successfully run dxkerneltuner
while on member 1 (ES40) dxkerneltuner produces an orrible

        Segmentation fault (core dumped)
        
The very strange thing is that the whole system is behaving well: I only
would like to follow a couple of UNICENSUS suggestions concerning some
kernel values modificable at run time.

Does anybody know anything about this strange error?
