We see ODB corruption crashes in the DS20k vertical slice MIDAS instance.
Crash is memset() called by db_delete_key1() called by cm_connect_experiment().

Are you saying that if the first data word of a history event were a timestamp,

Dear MIDAS experts,
does the ODBXX interface to ODB currently ODB links in the path names? - From what I see so far, it currently fails to do so,

05 May 2025, Konstantin Olchanski, Bug Report, abort and core dump in cm_disconnect_experiment()
|
I noticed that some programs like mhist, if they take too long, there is an abort and core dump at the very end. This is because they forgot to
set/disable the watchdog timeout, and they got remove from odb and from the SYSMSG event buffer.

I would be in favor of not curing the symptoms, but fixing the cause of the problem. I guess you put the watchdog disable into mhist, right? Usually mhist
is called locally, so no mserver should be
involved. If not, I would prefer to propagate the watchdog disable to the mserver side as well, if that's not been done already. Actually I never would |

Hi all,
we have a CI setup which fails since 06.05.2025 to build the history_schema.cxx. There was a major change in this code in the commits fe7f6a6 and 159d8d3.

04 Jun 2025, Mark Grimes, Bug Report, Memory leak in mhttpd binary RPC code

Hi,
During an evening of running we noticed that memory usage of mhttpd grew to close to 100Gb. We think we've traced this to the following issue when making
RPC calls.

Hi,
We applied an intermediate fix for this locally and it seems to have fixed our issue. The attached plot shows the percentage memory use
on our machine with 128 Gb memory, as a rough proxy for mhttpd memory use. After applying our fix mhttpd seems to be happy using ~7% of the memory |

10 Jun 2025, Nik Berger, Bug Report, History variables with leading spaces
|
By accident we had history variables with leading spaces. The history schema check then decides that this is a new variable (the leading space is not read
from the history file) and starts a new file. We found this because the run start became slow due to the many, many history files created. It would be
nice to just get an error if one has a malformed variable name like this.

I confirm that MJSON_ARRAYBUFFER does not work correctly for zero-size buffers,
buffer is leaked in the destructor and copied as NULL in MJsonNode::Copy().

Many thanks for the fix. We've applied and see better memory performance. We still have to kill and restart
mhttpd after a few days however. I think the official fix is missing this part:
