[Lcdproc] possible bug and/or limitation

[Pedro Peixoto]

hello

This email is to address a possible bug and/or limitation in the
application lcdproc version 0.5.4, on which i would get if possible
your support in order to solve the problem found.
   I'm developing an client application based on lcdproc demo client,
to cpmunicate with a server previously started. This application
has only a single client with a single display where are shown a list
of information updated in a pre-determined period. The function
structure used for sending messages from client to server is as
follows:
  - Create screen
  - Create Widgets
  - Endless loop:
 >  sleep 500mS
 >  set widget #1
 >  sleep 10mS
 >  set widget #2
 >  sleep 10mS
...
 >  set widget #11
 >  sleep 10mS
    Repeat loop

Basicly, desired variables are updated at 500mS rate with an interval
of 10mS for each message sent from client to server
This is important to understand the problem. This sequence works
perfectly for an interval of 320 minutes ± 5min. At this time
the serever stops writing to display and receiving messages
(sock_printf function) that is used for sending messages, which
returns
an error. After restarting the server everything works again this the
320 minute time elapses again.
   Several tests have been done in order to better understand the
problem source. If the 10mS sleep betwin messegas is removed, the time
to server crash becomes 240 min ± 5 min. In face of that, it seems
that the server has some limitation on the quantity (??) of messages
that can be handled or even a bug in an buffer allocation that is not
properly cleared/released.

I would like to have your feedback on this issue, and any clue to solve it.


Thanks in advance for your support,
Pedro Peixoto
