Solaris Common Messages and Troubleshooting Guide

Cause

During a read(2), getmsg(2), or ioctl(2) I_RECVFD call to a STREAMS device, something has come to the head of the queue that can't be processed. That something depends on the call: 1. read(2): control information or passed file descriptor; 2. getmsg(2): passed file descriptor; 3. ioctl(2): control or data information.
