I stumbled over a problem which I cannot pin point and would appreciate suggestions.

I set up an experiment, and all of a sudden I noticed the following behaviour.

I can start any number of frontends without any problems as long as mlogger is NOT running.
I can also start mlogger without any problems. However, as soon as I started the mlogger, I cannot start anything else any more (including odbedit). I get the following assertion:
16:07:06 [Logger,INFO] Program Logger on host lem00 started
[local:nemu:S]/>q
[nemu@lem00 2014]$ odbedit -e nemu
odbedit: src/odb.c:753: db_update_open_record: Assertion `xkey->notify_count == pkey->notify_count' failed.
Aborted
This is even happening if I stop all frontends, start only the mlogger and afterwards try to start odbedit.

I tried to see if this is a generic feature on a test experiment, but there I cannot reproduce it. It seems that there is either something wrong with the ODB, something wrong with hotlinks, ..., I don't know.

I would appreciated suggestions how pin point the issue.


K.O. put that in: https://bitbucket.org/tmidas/midas/commits/9d7b7c83b275a2bd3c846c4f265ff7f5d53f3426

He should have a look at it.

Have you tried to rebuild your ODB from scratch? (Save in XML, then delete .ODB.SHM, then load again form XML)?

Yes, I could recover the ODB by falling back to a previous dump. Still, I would like to know what is the exact meaning of the above assertion. It might help to understand what are the likely cause which results in the assertion.
