Jon Siwek updated BIT-667:
--------------------------
       Resolution: Duplicate
    Fix Version/s: 2.4
           Status: Closed  (was: Open)

As part of BIT-978, I'll be adding documentation to the for-each loop that explains you can't modify a container's membership while iterating over it.  (There is code that in Bro's core that would allow this, "MakeRobustCookie", but I assume it's not used for performance reasons).

> As we discussed during the Bro Workshop at NCSA, the attached code shows some non-deterministic results while deleting the current element while iterating through a set.  Most of the time, it works.  Some times, it doesn't.
> Have a look at subexercise 3's output.
