Have you updated to the current midas version? This issue has been fixed a while ago. Below

I guess you won't change your FPGA configuration just when you start a run, so I don't consider the race
condition very crucial (although KO is correct, it it there).

OK ok, was me. But actually 2003. I hope that this being more than 20y ago excuses me not remembering it ;-)

For ODB keys of type TID_KEY, the value num_values IS the number of subkeys. The only issue here is

One thing coming to my mind is the interface binding. If you have a midas host with two networks
("global" and "local"=192.168.x.x), you can tell to which interface a socket should bind.
By default it binds both interfaces, but we could restrict the socket only to bind to the local
