Problem IT27533 Status: Closed

ASSERT FAILURE MEMORY CORRUPTION FOLLOWED BY 937 ERROR ON INSERTINTO TABLE
WITH BTS INDEX

product:
INFORMIX SERVER / 5725A3900 / C10 - IDS 12.10
Problem description:
There is memory block header corruption detected in the free
list linked pointers. Someone wrote to the block after the block
was freed. After the af file , all attempts to insert something
to the table always return -937. Sample Assertion failure and
stack of thread trying to insert is mentioned below. Multiple
variations of behavior was also seen after the AF. Some times
engine crashed while other time hang was seen with a deadlock.
onstat -g wmx show waits on different mutexes with a deadlock.

Once after the the AF, when you try inserting records in table
using dbaccess we get the following :

Eg. if you then try to insert records into the table in
dbaccess.
INSERT INTO notice VALUES ( 0, 30, "xxxxx", 5, NULL, "ddd",
NULL, CURRENT, "2018-1-14 23:59:59", 10, "ddd" );
