525: ZEMS-EVT-INVALIDEVENT
ZEMS-TKN-COLLECTOR (nonshared)
specifies the collector type. This token has one of two values: ZEMS-SUBJ-
PCOLL (or 1) for the primary collector, or ZEMS-SUBJ-ACOLL (or 2) for the
alternate collector.
ZEMS-TKN-XSYSPID (nonshared)
is private to HP. It contains the system number and PID of the process that sent the
invalid message.
Cause. A primary or alternate collector received an improper event message, usually
caused by one of:

A process called the WRITEREAD procedure with an old-style text message.

A process called WRITEREAD with an incorrect count.

A programming error in the sending process created an improperly formatted event
message.
Effect. The event message is not logged.
Recovery. Stop the process that generated the invalid message.
Note. The alternate collector issues this event message once for each event issuer. The
primary collector issues this event message for each invalid event received.
