It is a bug. I bugged SunService support continuously until they logged a
bug report about it. - only when I got this it was signal 11 not 13 - see
below.
Workaround: Learn to use the command line interface to NIS+ (nistbladm etc.)
- it is more flexible, faster and it works.
Here's 2:
Hi - if you type
kill -l
it lists the signals. Count 13 in and it looks like it's complaining about
a pipe - probably a broken pipe. At worse, something may not have gotten
updated and you simply lost the data - or it's just complaining about the
way you exited from the application. In any case, the only thing that effected
would be whatever you changed. Hence, check your changes and if everything
looks fine then I would ignore it.

Beware of Quantum Ducks, Quark! Quark!
or
Fix: You need to dismantle NIS+ and start again - but that dosn't gaurantee
that the problem won't occur again.
