Hello, TPC-ers

We are currently processing ADC files in FastOffline with the offline cluster 
finder (chain options TpxRaw, TpxClu), which is enabling the QA of FEE and 
RDO statuses that Flemming, Isaac Mooney, and Tommy Tsang have worked on. I 
would like to make sure that people here are aware that these particular 
reconstruction jobs are generating HUGE standard error output files, on the 
order of ~1-3 GB _after_gzip_compression_! It would be good if someone can 
find a way to get rid of these messages as they are steadily filling up our 
lproduction og disks.

Most of the error messages are of the form:
Tonko: .sl73_gcc485/obj/StRoot/RTS/src/DAQ_TPC23/tpc23_base.cxx [line...
or
Tonko: .sl73_gcc485/obj/StRoot/RTS/src/DAQ_ITPC/itpcFCF.cxx [line ...

If anyone would like to take a look at these, here are a couple examples:

Small and rare at ~30 MB compressed, this one can be opened in an editor:
/star/rcf/prodlog/dev/log/daq/st_forphoto_adc_24141039_raw_0000005.err.gz

And at the other end, here's one over 3.6 GB compressed:
/star/rcf/prodlog/dev/log/daq/st_physics_adc_24142001_raw_1900009.err.gz

Thanks,
-Gene
