2743.1Fixed a number of problems with pams_get_msga...KLOVIA::MICHELSENDECmessageQ EngineeringFri Jan 24 1997 11:2982
...although none exactly match the scenerio you describe.  The closest is:

                 2.5.4.4  Fixed an Occasional Failure Of
                          PAMS_GET_MSGA to Activate AST Routine
                          or Event Flag
          A problem was discovered that would occasionally
          cause AST routines or event flags not to be triggered.
          When this problem occurred, messages would be queued
          properly but notification of the event could be lost.
          These lost wakeups were caused by a race condition
          that has been corrected.


BTW, I tried your example with V3.2B (V3.2A should behave the same) and it ran
until completion.  Please upgrade since V2.1 isn't support any more.

2743.2problems still on alpha, VMS V6.1, DMQ V3.2-00 ...AWECIM::MILLIGANFri Jan 24 1997 13:1927
Marty,

Thanks for the speedy response.  I'm puzzled.  I retried the test program that I had posted in 2743.0 on the
following system:

	Alpha
	VMS V6.1
	DEC C V5.5-002
	DMQ V3.2-00

(I had to change numerous instances of "long" data type to "int32" to get test program to compile in
 newer environment).  I still see the same problems.  Specifically, when my test program gets to the
 point where it announces:
	"Commencing get-asynch-then-put broadcast test loop ..."
 I still see a total of five (5) messages get broadcast (pams_put_msg) and none of these cause the
 callback routine that is preinstalled via pams_get_msga to fire.

 Similarly, in the immediately following portion of my test program where it announces:
	"Commencing get-asynch-with-rearm-then-put broadcast test loop ..."
 I still see five (more) messages broadcast via pams_put_msg and the callback routine
 installed via pams_get_msga still does not fire in response.

 Please, more advice!  And thanks again for the assistance.
