Re: [Freeipmi-users] pstdout_launch: unknown internal error encountered with 319 hosts and --consolidate-output --quiet-readings |

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.
