   A47 System won't poll / Runtime error 21   
   28 Sep 21 09:11:52

   This was a problem for me on A46.  I had hoped an upgrade to A47 would make a   
   difference and it doesn't appear to.   
      
   2021.28.09 16:00:10 MUTIL 000 Runtime error 216   
      
   What is this?   
      
   The effect is the same when I stop and restart mis and the poll jobs (about   
   every 5 minutes, one for each network) runs.  The first poll will work okay,   
   but then subsequently every poll fails:

   (all subsequent polls will show "Polled 0 systems").  It doesn't appear to be   
   one network.  Depending on what part of the hour it is, it will always poll   
   whatever network is scheduled correctly once, and then fail for all subsequent   
   ones.   
      
   I do not know if this is normal or not, but the other thing that happens is   
   .bsy files appear in a whole bunch of my echomail/out folders:   
      
   mystic@shibboleths:/mystic$ find . -name *.bsy   
   ./echomail/out/fidonet.001/00da02bc.bsy   
   ./echomail/out/agoranet.02e/0001009c.bsy   
   ./echomail/out/tqwnet.539/00030064.bsy   
   ./echomail/out/micronet.26a/012c0001.bsy   
   ./echomail/out/spooknet.2bc/00640000.bsy   
   ./echomail/out/primary/00010064.bsy   
   ./echomail/out/primary/0001000a.bsy   
   ./echomail/out/metronet.019/00190000.bsy   
   ./echomail/out/weednet.1a4/00020001.bsy   
   ./semaphore/mutil.bsy   
   ./semaphore/mis.bsy   
      
   Note also that mutil.bsy stays there even though mis is not running between   
   polls; I assume this runtime error causes it to die before it can remove that   
   file.   
      
   The mutil.log file shows this:

   Currently dead in the water and unsure how to proceed.
