Hello Managers,

Since some time now we are seeing errorcode 123 (ESOFT) in the auditlog of
an application process that crashes on a regular basis.

When I look at the errno.h file I see the following explanation on the error

----- from /usr/include/errno.h on ESOFT (123) ---------
 * these error codes are used in the b_error field of the struct buf,
 * and should never be seen outside the kernel.
 * skipping a part ....
 * ESOFT indicates a correctable error occurred: the data transfer
 * occurred correctly, but an ECC error was encountered. The caller
 * may choose to take corrective action based on this indication.
-------------------------

I wonder if there is a relation between this error and the crashing of the
application. I've looked at the advfs partitions where the application is
resided and we have even rebuild (with a backup/restore) one domain where
the application was located that had some BMT errors. Until now nothing
helped, so I wonder if any of you out there has any experience with this
error or some suggestions to deal with it.
