Question:

        Could somebody please tell me what the following messages imply:
                received message length = 2
                30 40
                received message length = 4
                30 40 00 00

        We have a flurries of those on the console window.

Responds:
1. bobw@kramer.filmworks.com
   "Sounds like you have somebody doing some prog debugging. The msg
    length is 2 chars, ascii values 30 & 40, for the 1st 2 lines. Next 2
    lines are saying length is 4, the 2 of which are `null' values, ascii
    value 00 00. Most likely these are hex numbers instead of decimal."
2. fpardo@tisny.com
   "It's debug output from soem application prog under test. Maybe one
    of your programmers is sending diagnostics to `/dev/console' instead of
    `/dev/tty'."

Conclusion:
No cause for alarm.
