Error description

  • Server can crash with  "Internal error OUT23 detected"
    when the "alert monitor" encountered an unexpected value from
    the output stream and cannot continue.
    
    The server console will report before the crash:
    ANR7824S Server operation terminated.
    ANR7823S Internal error OUT023 detected.
    ANR9999D   0x0000000111a2a8  pkAbort
