In faxd/ModemServer.c++ I found one of the reference to FAX_SEQF. It
reads as follows:
u_long seqnum = Sequence::getNext(FAX_LOGDIR "/" FAX_SEQF, emsg);
[...]
C/C++ u_long 4 bytes 0 to 4294967295

Hello Moritz and Erich,


the data type is not the only limit.
Function Sequence::getNext is part of the HylaFAX source code.
In util/Sequence.c++ you can see the real limit MAXSEQNUM
which is defined as 999999999 in config.h[.in]

If I understand the code correct, the highest possible value is MAXSEQNUM-1. When the file contains this value, function getNext will set the new value to 0 with NEXTSEQNUM, which is defined as (((x)+1) % MAXSEQNUM). The next call to getNext will change this 0 to 1 and print a warning.

In order to avoid this warning and to allow MAXSEQNUM as maximum value the macro could be changed to
#define NEXTSEQNUM(x) (((x) % MAXSEQNUM) + 1)



Bodo
