GciStoreTravDoTravRefs_ may error, impacting linked GBS sessions
The GemStone/S 64 Bit server implements GCI calls such as GciStoreTravDoTravRefs_, that perform several functions in a single server call. GemBuilder for Smalltalk interacts with the server using these specialized GCI calls.
Due to code changes in GS64 v3.5, if the numNotReplicated buffer gets too large, GciStoreTravDoTravRefs_ fails with Error 2101, oop 0 does not exist.
As a result, linked GBS sessions are unreliable with GemStone/S 64 Bit v3.5 servers, particularly if many objects are replicated and there are many object changes.
Workaround
Avoid using linked logins with GBS 8.4 and GS64 v3.5.
