Without the log from the downstream site, we can't tell for sure, but this just looks like the results of a somewhat flaky network connection in combination with the fact that sunset was catching up itself, so downstream sites are even further behind until sunset catches up to current data feeds from its upstream sites. It doesn't appear to be connected with the alignment bug that you found, since I'm fairly confident that no misaligned access would ever occur subsequently once pqcreate works successfully. Also, if a misaligned access ever occurred in a feeder process, it would exit with a bus error, as pqcreate did, and I don't think that would generate RECLASS messages on either the upstream or downstream hosts. I' pretty sure I fixed the misaligned access bug of pqcreate yesterday. We've been testing it here on an SGI MIPS 4000 platform, but still need to test it on other platforms in both 32-bit and 64-bit mode before we can make a release. I'd give you the small patch to src/pq/pq.c if you want it, but you might want to wait until we've finished more testing here and declare it fixed, since you have a workaround. --Russ
