From: someone

The 'parcel is full' message resulting from llRezObject() or
llRezAtRoot() now are sent via IM, and include sim, parcel, and
location information. However, this error message incurs a 30
second sleep (to avoid spam).

In the eight hours between when 1.5.6 came up, and when I was able to log on, I recieved 221 e-mail notifications of "Can't create object because the parcel is full". Hardly "spam avoidance".

The root cause of this is two autorezzers on my property. Both create temp-on-rez objects consisting of two prims each. The land in question has nine prims available. This indicates that there are two bugs and a design misfeature involved here:

Bug 1) Temp-on-rez prims count against your prim quota, but don't show up in the "About land" dialog.
Bug 2) Temp-on-rez prims can't be rezzed on full parcels.
Design misfeature) A 30 second delay is hardly enough to avoid spamming. I'd recommend limiting such messages to one per day per land parcel if the user is offline.

Yikes! I think this is a serious problem that they probably didn't take into consideration when routing that message to the IMs. Maybe they can get a fix in for the next update that's lurking around the corner if you bug them about it enough. :-/

I have also been getting these messages once every few hours from my sales vendor at Busy Ben's. I think I may have forgotten to make one of my models temp on rez or something, but I haven't taken the time to check it out yet.

Without sleeping the script!

Artifical sleeps don't reduce spam, they just slow it down a bit. Why is LL adding MORE sleeps into LSL when we don't like them in the first place? This isn't helpful at all.
