Mark,

This PinICL is related to PiniCL 56922 which you looked at a couple of weeks ago.

I've had a look through the message store and the event log and have noticed that at the time of this failure (00:01:56) that there is an
LFS background task running. It has written a BLOB to the message store at 00:01:46 and then writes a further BLOB at 00:02:38. It
is presumably doing message store scans in between (hence the timeout?).

I suspect it is significant that the Riposte Error is 10 secs after the BLOB is written (since I assume that the timeout is 10 secs!).

As the PinlCL says, this seems to be happening fairly frequently. As far as I can tell, the application is carrying on OK in this case.
Since the failure is at midnight, then Riposte is likely to be reloaded fairly soon.

I think we do need a definitive statement from Drew as to whether this event is benign, or what problems we could have when it
happens. Could it be due to an application error? Do we need to get more info on when these problems occur. It is clear that the
circumstances in this case are very different from those in the original PinICL.

Attached is the Event Log (zipped .xIs format) and an extract from the message store at the time of failure. Relevant Date is 16/11/00.
I've assigned the PinlCL to you on Escher-Dev.

Regards

Gareth
