[Info-vax] LM$MSG.EXE not a valid message file?

On EISNER, get this failure in a script called trymsglookup.com:



 $ @trymsglookup %x10118009   ! Searches sys$message:*.exe for a specific completion code


 Searching: "SYS$MESSAGE:*.EXE"



 %SYSTEM-F-IVSECIDCTL, invalid section identification match control
  ( Error %X100002E4 - could not use SYS$COMMON:[SYSMSG]LM$MSG.EXE;1 as a 
message file )

 SYS$COMMON:[SYSMSG]PRGDEVMSG.EXE;1        %CDU-S-SUCCESS, Normal successful 
completion



Worked ok and listed the first instance it found in the sys$message
images of a reference to %x10118009 error code, but it also reported that
LM$MSG$EXE - details below - is not a valid message file.

Does this indicate a problem on EISNER?

Is there a modification I can make to my script so that it does not
search EXE's that are _not_ message files?

Oh, and here's some sho sys info on DS20 node EISNER:

 $ sho sys/noproc
 OpenVMS V8.4-2L2  on node EISNER   12-OCT-2021 17:17:54.44   Uptime  209
[...]


 
Thanks,
George Cornelius
