what is pxdb?

[MTSU_SAN]

I was compiling a c-program (with gnu make, cyrus-sasl to be exact), and I got a bunch of:
pxdb internal warning: cu[8]: SLT_END[247] out of synch
pxdb internal warning: cu[8]: SLT_END[250] out of synch
pxdb internal warning: cu[8]: SLT_END[251] out of synch
pxdb internal warning: cu[8]: SLT_END[253] out of synch
pxdb internal warning: cu[0]: SLT_END[289] out of synch
pxdb internal warning: cu[0]: SLT_END[291] out of synch
pxdb internal warning: cu[0]: SLT_END[689] out of synch
pxdb internal warning: cu[0]: SLT_END[691] out of synch
interspersed with the messages. Also some:
Please contact your HP Support representative
Are these from the linker? What should I do? Attached is output. It doesn't look to me like those messages belong, but they didn't appear on the console...

Hi,

Try applying the compiler cumulative patch. Which OS are you running ?

No harm done, you can choose to ignore it or get HP's opinion on how to fix it. This is cause by patch PHSS_24830. It's an ansi c compiler cumulative patch. You program compile fine right ?

I am running HP-UX 11.0. Yes I have just recent installed PHSS_24830. Yes, it seemed to compile fine. Are there more patches that should take care of this, or did I just miss some special install instructions on that patch?

Hi,

You may need to apply 11.0 cumulative pxdb patch - PHSS_20122.

Another one is - PHSS_24303.

You did fine I'm sure, there are no other patch to take care of this. All you have to do is remove this patch. It's just a case of a "bad" patch, in this scenario a "non-destructive-bad-patch".

I didn't quite answer your question .. pxdb is a subset of a tool used by q4 (kernel crashdump debugger). It pre-processed the kernel files before passing it to q4.
