If you have a application engine program that has define a state record and it is not defined in the App designer it causes core dump when trying to run the program. This can happen if you have migrated a app engine program from DEV to other environment and forgot to add the state record to project. Here is a query that can identify all such app engine programs.
select * from PSAEAPPLSTATE a where not exists (select 'x' from psrecdefn b where a.AE_STATE_RECNAME = b.recname).
This was observed in PT 8.48.16 and running the App engine program using command line on HP*UX 11.11 server. Database: Oracle 9.2.0.8 64 bit on HP*UX.
Here is the actual error message.
