[Quickfix-developers] Bug in PersistMessages=N handling

[Scott M. <rs...@pr...>]

Hi all,

We have just been bitten by what appears to be the bug described here:
http://osdir.com/ml/finance.quickfix.devel/2007-08/msg00015.html

I suspect it's not a problem in normal operation but it does cause tests
(e.g. some of the CME iLink conformance tests) that expect to receive a
very specific sequence of messages to fail, when we send a ResendRequest
instead of whatever the test is expecting to see next.

Jeevaka's suggested fix looks very reasonable to me - I plan to apply it
and at least run it through our automated test suite - can anyone with a
deeper knowledge of the QuickFIX internals than me spot any obvious bad
side effects that this change might have?

Thanks,

	Scott
