4444.0. "ProbeWATCHs Traffic Monitor failes" by ZUR01::FIERZ () Thu May 29 1997 11:56

    Hi,
    
    My customer has a problem using the PacketProbe90 (V2.7) with the
    "Traffic Monitor" of ProbeWatch (3.3.0. Serial#0):
    If he starts the traffic monitor he gets an error "Floting point error:
    invalid" and you have to close the window. It has been seen with WNT
    3.51, WNT4.0 and ClearVISN 1 and 1.1a (although ProbeWatch is allways
    3.3.0)
    
    The problem occurs at an estimated failure rate of 80% on PacketProbes
    that have a long uptime, i.e. 7 days is o.k. but 97 days and more
    exhibit the problem.
    
    Is anything known ?
    Will this be fixed with the next release of PacketProbe/ProbeWatch ?

4444.2This is a known problemNNTPD::"[email protected]"Kerr GlenMon Jun 02 1997 13:2012
This is a known problem. We have had many customers reporting this problem to
us.
The TAC case number is N13491. 
We have been pushing Engineering for a fix now for a while, because a Third
party, 
Frontier, write the software they appear to having some problems in getting a
fix.
Will post another note if we ever get anywhere.
