Define "flooded".

With SDL-Hyperion 4.2 you will see message HHC02917I appear periodically during normal operation (most typically when a tn3270 client is first connected and at the start and end of a IND$FILE transfer), but you should certainly NOT be "flooded" with such messages.

Yes, I agree it is annoying to be constantly seeing them appear over and over again during normal operation, which is why I committed a change to suppress them during normal operation and only display them if "msglevel debug" is active.

Unfortunately however, this fix was made *after* 4.2 was already released, so it's of course not in 4.2.  (But it *will* obviously be in the next release.)

If you're able (or willing) to build Hercules for yourself, here's the patch:
