The tmm process may crash when a connection is reset, typically with a panic message such as 'freed invalid pcb magic'.
Traffic disrupted while tmm restarts.
This occurs when the following conditions are met: -- A TCP iRule event other than CLIENT_CLOSED or SERVER_CLOSED is suspended. -- The peer sends a RST packet on the connection. -- There is an error in the suspended iRule, possibly as a side-effect of the RST packet being received. -- Code for a CLIENT_CLOSED or SERVER_CLOSED iRule event does exist.
Remove CLIENT_CLOSED and SERVER_CLOSED event, or run tmm.debug.
Resolved an issue that would cause TMM to crash if a TCP iRule is suspended with an error while the peer sends a packet.
