We run Midas with no problems on Rocky 9.4, although not in a virtual machine. We're very close to the head of `develop`.
I'm fairly sure I've seen an error like this before. I didn't pay it much attention because it was transitory and I was doing something weird at the time |

I cannot read the core dump without the corresponding executable (and likely all it's shared libraries).

I read these error messages. There is no ODB corruption. ODB semaphore is locked and all midas programs will fail, they will timeout trying to get the lock,
report the timeout, then it looks like a bug was introduced where instead of hard exit or abort() they attempt a clean shutdown which crashes from a recursive
call in db_lock_database(). Amy's

 11 Oct 2024, Denis Calvet, Bug Report, Frontend name must differ from others by more than the last three characters
|
Hi,
I have developed two Midas front-end programs for different hardware. The frontend_name of the first one is "FSCD_SC" (slow control) and that of the second
one is "FSCD_PS" (power supply).

Hi Denis,

Thank you for the stack trace, I fixed the buglet that cause midas programs to crash twice,
once on failure to lock ODB, then call exit() -> atexit() handlers -> cm_check_connect() -> crash on ODB lock
failure is the cm_msg() codes.

I am wondering if something bizarre is going on, like the system clock going backwards. I heard of things like that

Today, I encountered the bug shown in the attached video. The value of the plotted curve does not match the mouseover number.
When trying to understand it better, I stopped being able to replicate. Has anyone else observed a similar problem? |

It appears that time is moving forward:

After following Konstantin's debugging suggestions, I thought I would try to replicate
the issue on my own computer. My hope was that I could provide instructions for
replicating the bug so that the MIDAS team could try debugging things more easily.
