Error description
In IDS environments, that are very busy or have a high uptime the thread ID can become negative as it overflows because its a signed integer data type. If for any reason an af file has to be written or a user explicitly requests a stack trace of such a thread, onstat -g stk reports a usage error. Example: /usr/informix/bin/onstat -g stk -2118938862 light usage: onstat [ -abcdfghklmpstuxzBCDFRX ] [ -i ] [ -r [<seconds>] ] [ -o [<outfile>] ] [ <infile> ] -a Print all info -b Print buffers -c Print configuration file -d [update] ...
