Re: [Freeipmi-users] pstdout_launch: unknown internal error encountered

Hey Chris,

I've reproduced this problem in the underlying hostlist library.  I'm
working with the maintainer of the library to figure out if there is a
bug or if there is a hostrange assumption issue.  I noticed your range
input was:

0001-319

which internally in hostlist will lead to

0001-0319

Is your intent for xxxx[0001-319] to lead to xxxx0318, xxx0319, etc.?

Inputting the later also seems to cause an error, so there probably is a
bug somewhere, may it be an input checking bug or an output bug.

Al
