Re: 20000323: 3 messages catted together....pqsurf



Chris,

There's a couple of possible answers here:

- the pqsurf queue could of been corrupt, looks like you check that one.
- there is a strange product being sent to a decoder/file action in the
pqact for pqsurf.  For some reason, it causes pqact to croak and then
pqsurf dies.  I would make sure that pqact entries are as tight as
possible to try to eliminate these unexpected products.  I don't know what
the names are of the products.

- the MESSAGE_TYPE_UNKNOWN messages are usually caused by metar products
that start with FX, etc.  Don't worry about these messages, they are not
the problem.
