A process dump would certainly be better for analysis of this problem. If you can reproduce the problem, try a SET PROC/DUMP command before starting SECURITY_SERVER and see if a *.DMP file will be created.
This could either be some software problem within SECURITY_SERVER in V7.1 - this becomes less likely, if you have exactly this version running on a real Alpha - or a floating point problem in FreeAXP.
Could you install PersonalAlpha and boot the same virtual disk using that emulator ?
FreeAXP™ Beta 1.0.6.269 has been released on 15-APR-2010. Could you please verify, that you can now boot OpenVMS Alpha V7.1 without exceptions or floating point traps in SECURITY_SERVER.

ozboomer July 20 2022 Just re-visiting.. No more hobbyist licenses? Is that from vmssoftware.com, no 'community' licenses?
valdirfranco July 01 2022 No more hobbyist license...sad
mister_wavey February 12 2022 I recall that the disks failed on the public access VMS systems that included Fafner
parwezw January 03 2022 Anyone know what happened to FAFNER.DYNDS.ORG?
I had a hobbyist account here but can longer access the site.
gtackett October 27 2021 Make that DECdfs _2.1A_ for Vax
gtackett October 27 2021 I'm looking for DECdfs V2.4A kit for VAX.
Asking here just in case anyone is still listening.
MarkRLV September 17 2021 At one time, didn't this web site have a job board? I would love to use my legacy skills one last time in my career.
malmberg January 18 2021 New Hobbyist PAKs for VAX/VMS are no longer available according to reports. Only commercial licenses are reported to be for sale from HPE
dfilip January 16 2021 Can someone please point me to hobbyist license pak? I'm looking for VAX/VMS 7.1, DECnet Phase IV, and UCX/TCPIP ... have the 7.1 media, need the license paks ... thanks!
