[Xorp-hackers] Q: Can't validate start of process protoC

[Liang Qin]

Hi XORP users,

I'm porting a routing protocol "protoC" to XORP v.0.5, I have a problem 
when I launch
this module in XORP.

Here is part of error message:
--------------------
New module has PID 4406
step1_done (protoC)
step2 (protoC)
validate
XRL: >finder://protoC/common/0.1/get_status<
[ 2004/03/03 15:23:35  WARNING xorp_rtrmgr:4403 XrlFinderTarget +376 
finder_base.cc handle_finder_0_2_resolve_xrl ] Handling method for 
finder/0.2/resolve_xrl failed: XrlCmdError 102 Command failed Target 
"protoC" does not exist or is not enabled.
*-*-*- start running protoC target
***************the protoC status is 3
--------------------------
This error message will repeat until this module is killed.

The printout messages are added by me, we can see that the target is 
running from its status code.

It'll work if I add a infinite loop late, like
while(true)
    e.run();

e is an instance of EventLoop

My question is
1. Does this error message mean that protoC process is not up? or rtrmgr 
cannot find the process?
2. Do I have to use the infinite loop?
 
Thanks!
