That message indicates that some chain of shared memory table rows has changed such that onstat can not continue to follow the chain it was following, not that the basic data structure has changed since compilation. This usually happens on very busy systems. This happens to me occasionally and rerunning the command usually succeeds. However, if onstat commands are failing consistently then that seems to be a bug. Art S. Kagel
