ConnectX was designed to handle codes of the latter type. Its also quite dangerous to take as gospel any of the output of diagnostic programs without their context. And if you are a vendor, and you have a customer reporting things like this, have a careful look at what they are doing. There may be a signal there … just don’t get caught up in the number without a context. I allowed that to happen to me today without realizing it.

They work as intended. [end update]
