1774.0. "ode error: Read more or less bytes than expected..." by AOSG::FILTER (Automatic Posting Software - mail to flume::puck) Tue Aug 29 1995 18:07

What does this error mean?  I also saw it referenced from someone else
(Peter Wolfe's mail about great performance from UNX->ZK3).

Is this an error?  warning?  Sounds kind of worrisome.

Josh,

I don't know if you care about this or not...

ODE CLIENT ERROR: Failed call to: read() while reading server status.
Read more or less bytes than expected. 1 bytes.


things appear to have worked ok, as far as I can tell, so maybe
it's just a warning type of message.

hi josh,

we're not exactly sure what would cause that error message.
it seems to be benign.

what are the conditions in the environment when this error comes up?
does it happen for a submit of 1 file?  or is it with just large 
number of files?

is it easily reproducible?

one thing that can be done is to start the ode_server from a terminal
window with the -d and watch what errors the server gets, if any,
whent the ODE CLIENT error pops up.

Jo, I have never seen this myself; it was reported by two users, one with
a 105 file submit from UNX->ZK3, the other I can't tell; it was from a
bci log which I found the user then submitted as part of a 132-file submit
from ZK3->ZK3.  I've asked him for more details.  His mail is attached.

p.s. I see you have a new help_ode address; how does this compare with
use of 'ode'?  Should 'odehelp' include help_ode now instead of ode?
