This is the first thing I do when I see RWAST on any VMS process.

When you see RWAST you need to find out what the process is doing
and what resource it is waiting for.
$ anal/system
>SHOW SUM
! now, what process is RWAST, say it is named FOO
>SHOW PROC FOO
! you can even get an idea of what it is doing with
! first read the symbol table from the exe file
>READ SYS$SYSTEM:FTP-SERVER.EXE ! for example
>SHOW CALL
>SHOW CALL/NEXT
>SHOW CALL/NEXT


Look at process quota values. They are in the form of amounts left/started.
If you see a left down to 0, say BIOLM, then it makes sense to
start the process in question with more BIOLM quota.

Note that SYSGEN parameters like PQL_MBIOLM may also be adjusted,
and may be different on systems at CMU and other sites (that is, higher)
so that the behavior of the software may be different. Of course
you should read the documentation on these parameters carefully
before you start fooling around with them.
