Here is the > traceback: We found a bug in the error message extraction code which has been fixed in the 4.6 release. Don't know if this is tripping over it or not; it may be. Purify 2 didn't seem to catch it. Actually, to give credit where credit is due, Kam @ pure found it and reported it to us. I don't know if you can prevent it with a .purify file entry or not. I believe the error only occurred when attempting to look up invalid error messages, but we never had a repeatable test case; only some diffs from pure. Our original code was obviously wrong, and we applied the patch. There is an array of tables for different classes of error messages, and we were marching off the end of the array if we didn't find the message requested.
