'sbdrop' message on OPCOM

[Jeremy Begg]

Hi,

Process Software MultiNet V5.1 Rev A-X, COMPAQ AlphaServer DS20E 666 MHz,
OpenVMS AXP V8.2

I just noted an odd OPCOM message on this system:

%%%%%%%%%%% OPCOM 15-DEC-2006 11:55:52.43 %%%%%%%%%%%
Message from user MULTINET on LICKER
sbdrop: len=87, sb_cc=87, saved len = 87, saved_sbcc=87, saved_mbcnt=512

What does it mean?

Thanks,

Jeremy Begg

That's a debugging message from an unexpected path.

More recent analysis of the path has revealed a logic error that could cause the message to be displayed when there isn't a problem. (I can't say off the top of my head if this would fit in that case or not.)

Are these messages happening frequently on your system?

Looks like there's been only two occurrences since the system was booted
back in July:

%%%%%%%%%%% OPCOM 11-OCT-2006 17:55:06.29 %%%%%%%%%%%
Message from user MULTINET on LICKER
sbdrop: len=80, sb_cc=80, saved len = 80, saved_sbcc=80, saved_mbcnt=512

%%%%%%%%%%% OPCOM 15-DEC-2006 11:55:52.43 %%%%%%%%%%%
Message from user MULTINET on LICKER
sbdrop: len=87, sb_cc=87, saved len = 87, saved_sbcc=87, saved_mbcnt=512
