User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:34.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/34.0
Build Identifier:

When one executes the fitsload() function, the server returns with an (error) message:

invalid/unknown response from server, ignoring output

following 5 lines of comments about loaded columns and finishes with:

(remaining output omitted, use \fraw to examine in detail).

However, the loading was successful (and very fast!), and the loaded table can be queried etc.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Use example fits file: call fitsattach('/myfits/r564532_cat.fits');
2. call fitsload('r564532_cat_3');

Actual Results:

invalid/unknown response from server, ignoring output
? Loading 1864 rows in table apm-binarytable
? Column number loaded for 1 ms Total 1 ms
? Column isophotal_flux loaded for 0 ms Total 0 ms
? Column total_flux loaded for 0 ms Total 0 ms
? Column core_flux loaded for 1 ms Total 1 ms
(remaining output omitted, use \fraw to examine in detail)

Expected Results:

Maybe the number of loaded records.

Relation with bug #3654.

Using this from within a python call, it breaks the program:

File "lib/python2.7/site-packages/monetdb/mapi.py", line 196, in cmd
raise ProgrammingError("unknown state: %s" % response)
monetdb.exceptions.ProgrammingError: unknown state: Loading 1864 rows in table apm-binarytable
Column number loaded for 0 ms Total 0 ms
Column isophotal_flux loaded for 0 ms Total 0 ms
Column total_flux loaded for 1 ms Total 1 ms

etc.
