errlog allows a maximum message size of 256 characters. It allows an extra 256 characters in an internal buffer. Until extra is > 256 there is no buffer overflow.
I get the following when I boot an IOC running 3.13.9:
iocInit: All initialization complete errlog: A message overran buffer by 3. This is VERY bad dbCa:exceptionCallback stat "Ambiguous channel host (multiple IOC's have a chann errlog = previous message too long. It was truncated. size=323 excess = 63
I'm not sure how serious "VERY bad" is meant to be - the IOC seems to work
OK, but there appear to be a lot of error messages that could cause the same problem.
