continuously running monetdbd get all dbfarm with a running monetdbd returns random values for status and mserver like so:

status monetdbd[54777] (unknown version) is serving this dbfarm
mserver /usr/local/monetdb/bin/mserver5

status monetdbd[54777] 1.6 (Dec2011) is serving this dbfarm
mserver /usr/local/monetdb/bin/mserver5

status monetdbd[54777] 1.6 (Dec2011) is serving this dbfarm
mserver unknown (unsupported monetdbd)

This is odd, merovingian.log doesn't report any problems.

Changeset fd13abca7fc6 made by Fabian Groffen fabian@cwi.nl in the MonetDB repo, refers to this bug.

For complete details, see http//devmonetdborg/hg/MonetDB?cmd=changeset;node=fd13abca7fc6

Changeset description:

monetdbd properties: mserver and version are multi-line responses

make sure we expect more output to follow after requesting mserver or
version properties
make sure we terminate the connection after sending the answer to
mserver and version properties

this solves a problem where the answer might not arrive, and monetdbd
eventually thinking more should have come, bug #2982
