RE: Hub Bug?

["Ian Lowe" <ian.lowe@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Yeah, got a little more detail -

If the hub receives a message that is malformed in a specific way
(others may cause the problem, but I have confirmed this one) - that the
last elemnt of the message body is missing the chr(10) character, that
is:

tag=value}

Rather than:

Tag=value
}

Then the hub locks up and will not pass any further xPL messages. I have
confirmed this, as the rogue application on my desktop caused the xPL
hubs on three other machines to stop pasing packets in the same way -
one on server 2k3, one on NT4, one on Windows XP.

Restarting the hubs resolves the problem, re-running my app brings it
back as soon as a button is pressed. (I have now fixed my app)

Mal, I might have a bug in the new hub code - it doesn't seem to form
malformed xPL packets. (obviously, I'm not expecting it to correct
malformed packets, but a dodgy packet going through (in this case, the
app I am working on) seems to cause it to lock up.

It happens repeatably.
