Bug Found in ss7boost_cli --ckt-block

A bug was found with the ss7boost CLI commands:

./ss7boost_cli --ckt-block --span X --chan all
./ss7boost_cli --ckt-unblock --span X --chan all

The logs for the unblock follow:

Jan 31 22:46:08 acc05 ss7boost[9831]: I:sb_mpc.c:sg_bsm_unblock_sending:MARK:0
Jan 31 22:46:08 acc05 ss7boost[9831]: I:sb_mpc.c:sg_bsm_wait_uba:MARK:0
Jan 31 22:46:08 acc05 ss7boost[9831]: W:sb_mpc.c:sg_bsm_wait_uba:SS7 event id not expected:event id follows:2

Using block and unblock with individual circuits works:

./ss7boost_cli --ckt-block --span X --chan Y
./ss7boost_cli --ckt-unblock --span X --chan Y

This problem will be fixed in next major revision of ss7boost because the entire circuit maintenance method has been redesigned as mentioned in the previous post on this website.

No fix will be made in the following revisions and below:

Xyganda Technology, Inc. ss7boost Revision 1.0.1-25 (and any 25 branch revs like 25.2+)
Xygnada Technology, Inc. ss7boost Command Line Interface, Version: 1.0.1-01
