9630.0. "Strange Message in kern.log" by AUSSIE::CARMODY () Sun Apr 27 1997 20:14

Hi all,
I've noticed a strange message in kern.log. It reads as follows:
"vmunix: We have an empty buffer error - intr path"

This message appears 4 times. At around the same time, an application exits with an error on a recv on a socket.
I'm not sure if the two are connected? Any assistance appreciated.

9630.1maybe not what it seemsNNTPD::"[email protected]"markWed Apr 30 1997 07:0310
Hi Greg,
I can not find this message by strings /vmunix | grep 'buffer' | grep 'error'
on either 3.2d-1 or 4.0b so its either in your kernel because of some
option I don't have linked or that vmunix: is an error. Try strings on your 
kernel and confirm that it is the source of the message. Then have a look
through the applications binaries and see if it is the source?

	Cheers
		Mark :)

Thanks, Mark. I'll try what you suggest. 
By the way, the configuration is DU3.2g
and DECss7 running on Alpha 1000A. 
It could be related to an option built
into the kernel, as I recall DECss7 rebuilds
the kernel after installation.

Regards,
Greg.
