Bug Report

iRODS Version, OS and Version

4.2.11 and 4.3.1, any Linux

What did you try to do?

Run ils on a collection through an imcoll link (a linkPoint).

Expected behavior

A full listing of the contents of the linked-to collection.

Observed behavior (including steps to reproduce, if applicable)

When accessing a collection through an imcoll link (a linkPoint), the number of the entries in that collection affects the results of ils. If the number is at or below 256, ils displays everything correctly. Above 256 entries, an error is given:

rclReadCollection: getNextDataObjMetaInfo error for... status = -130000

Here is a test setup to reproduce:

#!/bin/bash

home="/testZone/home/irods"
shared="/testZone/home/Shared"

imkdir $home/test300
imcoll -m l $home/test300 $shared/test300
for i in 0 1 2; do
    for j in 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9; do
        for k in 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9; do
            itouch $home/test300/test_$i$j$k.file
        done
    done
done

Listing of /testZone/home/irods/test300 shows shows 300 data objects, but a listing of /testZone/home/Shared/test300 shows only 256 and ends with:

test_253.file
test_254.file
test_255.file
remote addresses: 10.0.0.1 ERROR: rclReadCollection: getNextDataObjMetaInfo error for /testZone/home/Shared/test300. status = -130000
