Bootstrap stopped due to Corrupt (negative) value length in ColumnIterator.deserializeNext

[PRANEESH KUMAR]

Hi,

We have Cassandra 1.2.16. While adding a new node, during bootstrap has
encountered  java.io.IOException: Corrupt (negative) value length
in ColumnSortedMap. After this error streaming has been stopped and the
node is still in joining  mode.

Has anyone came across a similar kind of error. Any help is appreciated.

This is the complete trace.
