I also looked at note 2058 and checked for older images and found two entries
for MCC_TCPIP_AM.EXE;5. One is at DKA200:[SYS0.SYSCOMMON.SYSLIB], the other
is DKA200:[VMS$COMMON.SYSLIB]. File Id is the same, so that's not it - I think??

Help/Suggestions greatly appreciated.
Jeff.

2464.1We thought we killed this bug 8(NANOVX::ROBERTSKeith Roberts - DECmcc Toolkit TeamTue Mar 03 1992 09:2416
  Jeff,

  This error has been seen before (and thought to have been fixed).  Some
  clean up code is not getting executed correctly when an error occurs.

  Q) Can you reproduce this every time?

  Q) Could you try the same test, but instead of using an Alarm Rule to
     catch the event ... do this:

	getevent node4 rdosw1 cir sva-0 counters zeroed, for duration 01:00:00

     This is the command which Alarms executes to get the event data.

  Thanks,
  /keith

Hi Keith,

Yes. The sequence in .0 happens each time the rule fires (IMPM & FCL).

Here's a log of the getevent...

  Jeff,

  I have tried the same rule on decnet events as you have and see the
  same problem .. this is good, and will make it pretty easy to track and
  fix.

  A QAR on a similar INV_HANDLE problem has already been filed, #02433.
  I will add your details to this QAR.

  Thank you,
