---------------------------------------

             Summary: RangeError in buffer handling
                 Key: THRIFT-1754
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/THRIFT-1754
             Project: Thrift
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Node.js - Library
    Affects Versions: 0.9
         Environment: Ubuntu 12.04, Node.js v0.8.8
            Reporter: Vesa Poikajärvi
            Priority: Minor


I have a Node.js service that connects to multiple Thrift servers (using TFramedTransport with C++ servers and TBufferedTransport with Python servers). Every now and then for reasons rather hard to track the following happens:

{noformat}
buffer.js:242
      this.parent = new SlowBuffer(this.length);
                    ^
RangeError: length > kMaxLength
    at new Buffer (buffer.js:242:21)
    at Socket.TFramedTransport.receiver (/home/me/my_service/node_modules/thrift/lib/thrift/transport.js:59:17)
    at Socket.EventEmitter.emit (events.js:88:17)
    at TCP.onread (net.js:395:14)
{noformat}

Node module is extracted from Thrift 0.9 tarball due to THRIFT-1637. And as mentioned, I cannot really tell what triggers the behavior. When running in development mode I use [Forever|https://github.com/nodejitsu/forever] to relaunch a crashed process, and when it first crashes because of this it will keep relaunching a few times, maybe ten or so (I connect to the services upon startup), and then it starts working again.
