4988.0. "MON$DBR_READY + 78 bugcheck" by M5::DDAYBERR () Fri Jan 31 1997 11:42

      A customer reported the following behavior Wednesday morning.
    I didn't find much information on a MON$DBR_READY bugcheck, or
    tincan buffer errors.   The customer is running RDB 6.1-01 so
    I've sent eco 4 since it addresses a tincan_buffer bugcheck.  
    
         Does the tincan_buffer bugcheck 'fixes' have anything to 
    do with the following scenario?

This problem is caused by a process sending mail to the monitor which requires a
response.  However, the sending process dies (is terminated?) before the monitor
got around to sending the reply, so when the monitor eventually *does* send the
reply the corresponding mailbox doesn't exist...

This happens for a variety of reasons (i.e. a process trying to attach the
database while is is being shutdown, etc).  Typically occurs when the monitor is
bogged down doing "other" things.

I'm not sure you actually have a problem here, and I don't know of any specific
tincan fixes that address this scenario.
