It seems that an invalid message was found in the spool file, this size is the expected size of the message, that is rarely more than few hundred bytes. It can be some error message for example (low disk space?). You might want to diagnose in the Storage daemon when we write to thespool file and track when the msglen is > 1000000 for example. (Display the packet in the trace file for example. Hope it helps!
