</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=405361712-26092006><FONT face=Arial size=2>We've come across a
bug in a user application, which made an ib_query request, but didn't return the
mad by ib_put_mad, which in turn caused a stuck on
ib_close_al.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=405361712-26092006><FONT face=Arial size=2>The source of the
problem is IMO in that, that this requirement was not stated in the
description of ib_query.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=405361712-26092006><FONT face=Arial size=2>If you agree with
me, please, add the necessary explanations to ib_query and all other
functions, which require additional actions, while being
used.</FONT></SPAN></DIV>
<DIV><SPAN class=405361712-26092006><FONT face=Arial
size=2>TIA</FONT></SPAN></DIV></BODY></HTML>
