In a "former life" I did QA for the Kernel team. At the time, I ran MSM on my workstation (a 486, if that tells you anything) and I did inegrity checks as part of my testing process. I think I found an integrity problem -- once.
This error is due to a dangling pointer (no patient exists with a DFN of Y) and I hav to agree that dangling pointers are much more likely to be due to something going wrong at the VistA level than in the underlying MUMPS system. Yes, it's possible that one or more global nodes could be lost, but I have to agree that we're looking a little too reflexively for GTM errors. --- "Bhaskar, KS" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > > > -----Original Message----- > From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] on behalf of Kevin > Toppenberg > Sent: Sat 4/2/2005 3:46 PM > To: hardhats-members@lists.sourceforge.net > Cc: > Subject: RE: [Hardhats-members] Fileman drop-out on pointer update > Yeah, but it is the nature of the weak minded to look > for answers in superstition.
