Not per se but the DECNET stack got into a pretty bad state - had to
reboot. 

I've never had to reboot a VMS box for anything DECnet related.

Yeah, this is some weird interaction between Python and DECNET TASKs.

It refuses to start python, basically.




DECNET boxes seem pretty easy to DOS... 

Poor application programming is not the fault of the system it runs on! ;)

A poor application program shouldn't take out the network stack :)
