Issue

The following error may be encountered in the server.log file:

"Information","MulticastListener","07/04/05","09:05:42",,"Invalid/Incomplete Multicast Message received"

The error is benign, but if it occurs often enough, it can cause the server.log file to grow in size, causing slow ColdFusion MX 7 server performance. This has been identified as Macromedia issue 58419.
