When I run 'BackupPC_migrateV3toV4' (v4.3.0), I get occasional errors
of form:
setVarInt botch: got negative argument -1015087104; setting to 0
NOTE: that the error is rare -- I migrated about 2 million pool files
repeated across 100 backups... yet I only encountered a couple of
dozen such errors.
Note the error seems to be generated in bpc_attrib.c in the following
subroutine:
/*
* Write variable-length unsigned integer in 7 bit chunks, LSB first
*/
static void setVarInt(uchar **bufPP, uchar *bufEnd, int64 value)
{
uchar *bufP = *bufPP;
if ( value < 0 ) {
bpc_logErrf("setVarInt botch: got negative argument %ld;
setting to 0\n", (long int)value);
value = 0;
}
do {
uchar c = value & 0x7f;
value >>= 7;
if ( value ) c |= 0x80;
if ( bufP < bufEnd ) {
*bufP++ = c;
} else {
bufP++;
}
} while ( value );
*bufPP = bufP;
}
