Subject: Debugging odd warning message

Anyone happen to know what this message means?
cf3 !! Out of variable allocation in context "harden_vars"
cf3 !! Out of variable allocation in context "harden_vars"
cf3 -> Checking common class promises...
cf3 !! Out of variable allocation in context "this"
cf3 !! Out of variable allocation in context "this"
I'm getting it all over the place on some AIX systems running 3.1.4. The whole
harden_vars bundle looks like this:
bundle common harden_vars {
vars:
has_passwd_combined&!cfengine_3_0::
"account_count" int => readstringarray("account_array",
"$(g.passwd_combined)",
"",
":",
"inf",
"inf");
classes:
"harden_has_accounts" expression => isgreaterthan("$(account_count)", "0");
}
The "has_passwd_combined" class is set if the g.passwd_combined file exists
(generated by a script that merges the available LDAP users and local users
into one file), and I have to do !cfengine_3_0 to avoid some weird file reading
behavior in my remaining 3.0.5 systems.
Anyway, there have been a number of problems with this cfengine file. I was
getting a bunch of "constant list redefined" issues before when I had this in
another bundle (which currently looks like this):
harden_has_accounts::
"accounts" slist => getindices("harden_vars.account_array"), policy => "free";
until I set the policy to free. Which is weird, since I have a bundle -
harden_vars - and another bundle. Those two bundles are referenced (in the
right order) under a methods: section of a higher-level bundle.
Everything does ultimately work, but cf-agent/cf-promises complains a lot. "A
lot" like, the above cryptic message is repeated ~4000 times per run, and this
fills up my outputs directory. I don't want to report a bug until I know I'm
not doing something wrong. So I'm hoping someone more familiar with the
underlying code can better elucidate what the error message is actually trying
to communicate to me, allowing me to better track down what's going on. :)
