We are hunting down the heisenbug, a tricky beast that messes up the UniqueIDs on the various messages and wreaks havoc all over freenet. In searching for the bug, we are taking all of the messages we get with such properties as a UniqueID scrambling we have seen and just throwing the chain away. The logic behind this is that we are passing MASSIVE amounts of these scrambled messages, and i just didn't want to see them any more. Now, if you get the word PANIC anywhere in your log file, then tell us immedietly - we have killed off forwarding these scrambled messages, so now we should be able to see them getting gented in the wild. Oskar also committed something to cvs very recently which will flag whenever we get one of these packets with a very verbose message to the logger and stderr. Also, the log format of that exact error has changed as well in the next as-of-yet unreleased cvs build. Note: this bug has been around for months. It is now that we are giving great effort into stamping it out as the beastly JVM error it is. > I'm using Kaffe and freenet-latest.jar (size 813,990 bytes and > current as of 23:31 12 Oct 2001 GMT +1000). -Mathew _______________________________________________ Devl mailing list Devl at freenetproject.org http://lists.freenetproject.org/mailman/listinfo/devl
