link_message(...
...
else if (str == "reset"
{
llSleep(1.0);
llMessageLinked(LINK_SET, 0, "reset", ...
llSleep(1.0);
llResetScript();
}
... or something like that. Since I used LINK_SET, I end up dropping a link message into my own queue. But this used to not be a problem, because the sleep + script reset used to flush this script's event queue. Now, it looks like the event queue isn't being flushed. Or, something else is going on. But basically, what happens is that this script ends up in an infinite loop of waking up and resetting itself.
The fix is simple, use LINK_ALL_OTHERS or LINK_ALL_CHILDREN or whatever. But I'm more interested in the wider implications of what's going on. One possibility is that I'm smoking crack, and it's always worked this way. But I'm pretty sure I tested this reset functionality, and I'd think I'd notice if hitting the reset button locked up the whole product. So, I also don't think this is some other bug of mine where I've set up some kind of link message feedback/echo and that's the source for the repeated link messages (I added a link message sniffer and verified that there's an endless stream of 'reset' link messages).
I haven't tested it further, but I figured I'd put it out here so someone else could try it out and tell me what they find/think. A simple test would be to have a state_entry that sent a link message to yourself and then reset, then see if the link message handler reports anything.
