Hi Hackers

What is the concensus for the "correct" list to raise some HAST 
problems?  -net / -scsi / -geom or here?

The high level view is that in 11.x, hastd exits because a "this can 
never happen" thing happens in primary.c - related to size of data 
returned by GGATE.  Under 12.0, this gets worse, but can still be worked 
around.  My main concern is that my "fix" just involves increasing 
buffer sizes without understanding what causes it to break in the first 
place, and that performance appears to suffer as a result.

Bug 234576 relates to this problem.

Paul.
