Problem with Simple example

Hi all - 

Just installed the SDK and am running a few examples and writing some code. 

I've found that the 'simple' example runs into a problem at about the 296th iteration of sending. It does not matter if the receiver is running - The app just hangs. Can anyone run the following and see what the problem is? 

Usage: >> Simple.exe pub

Thanks,

Dan

Looks like the QOS settings are the culprit. 

 

I commented out the Qos_Library and it works fine:

 <!-- Qos Library 
 <qos_library name="QosLibrary">
 <qos_profile name="DefaultProfile"
 base_name="BuiltinQosLibExp::Generic.StrictReliable"
 is_default_qos="true">
 <participant_qos>
 <transport_builtin>
 <mask>UDPv4 | SHMEM</mask>
 </transport_builtin>
 </participant_qos>
 </qos_profile>
 </qos_library>

I saw the same issue with the Python Connector simple\writer.py example. Same slowing after the 296th iteration.

Deleting the <qos_library....>   worked smoothly past 296 iterations, but I have to be able to specify the   <publisher_qos>    <partition>

I also found that in :

  <qos_profile name="TridentControl_Profile base_name="BuiltinQosLibExp::Generic.StrictReliable" is_default_qos="true">

changing is_default_qos="true" to "false" allowed the loop to proceed past 296, but the Subscriber didn't see the data. Partition issue?
