Question:

Could somebody please tell me what the following messages imply:
received message length = 2
30 40
received message length = 4
30 40 00 00

We have a flurries of those on the console window.

Responds:
1. bobw@kramer.filmworks.com
"Sounds like you have somebody doing some prog debugging. The msg
length is 2 chars, ascii values 30 & 40, for the 1st 2 lines. Next 2
lines are saying length is 4, the 2 of which are `null' values, ascii
value 00 00. Most likely these are hex numbers instead of decimal."
2. fpardo@tisny.com
"It's debug output from soem application prog under test. Maybe one
of your programmers is sending diagnostics to `/dev/console' instead of
`/dev/tty'."

Conclusion:
No cause for alarm.
