Getting an error I've never seen on 0.10.2 core

[jonnybravo0311]

I run my own p2pool node (have for well over a year).  Today, I started seeing something I've never seen...

(from bitcoind) EXCEPTION: St12out_of_range CInv::GetCommand() : type=513 unknown type bitcoin in ProcessMessages()

First time I've seen this... Anyone have any ideas?

My p2pool node is 104.131.12.128:9332 if anyone wants to see the error...

Here's the snippet from the p2pool log:

Code:

Here's what the bitcoin log shows:

Code:

2015-06-26 13:58:02 socket recv error Connection reset by peer (104)

Not a lot of help there...

From bitcoind:

Code:

miner@devildog:~/bitcoin-0.10.2/src$ ./bitcoin-cli getinfo
{
    "version" : 100200,
    "protocolversion" : 70002,
    "blocks" : 362645,
    "timeoffset" : 0,
    "connections" : 97,
    "proxy" : "",
    "difficulty" : 49692386354.89383698,
    "testnet" : false,
    "relayfee" : 0.00001000,
    "errors" : "EXCEPTION: St12out_of_range       \nCInv::GetCommand() : type=513 unknown type       \nbitcoin in ProcessMessages()       \n"
}

I also posted this in the p2pool thread, but since it's directly from bitcoin core, I thought I'd cross post it here as well in case anyone might be able to provide some more information.

Edit: some potentially relevant information...

Bitcoin is compiled from source and is running on Ubuntu 14.04

Does it crash? Or just logs the warning and move on?

Anyone can send an Inventory Vector to other nodes (https://en.bitcoin.it/wiki/Protocol_documentation#Inventory_Vectors)
Accepted types though are 0 through 3.
It seems somebody is spamming with message type 513.

No it doesn't crash... it happily continues to run along.  It has since stopped.  So this is more of an inquiry as to what the cause might have been.  Would you mind explaining what that inventory vector is and what it is typically used for?

Thanks!

Edit: never mind I see the link... Duh... Missed it.  Too much Guinness

same problem here.. P2Pool and Bitcoind ..
but P2Pool seems to run anyway.. so we have "just" an annoying message? or does this error lead to any problems?

}

can i remove the error message without restarting?

[jonnybravo0311]

Mine ended up just going away on its own yesterday.  I've since restarted the bitcoind and updated p2pool to version 14.0, and haven't seen the error again.
