Summary0005273: taler-exchange-wirewatch does not handle row id sizes correctly
Descriptionlast_row_off_size in taler-exchange-wirewatch is read but never written (it's static so initialized to zero).

This lead to the crash below, which we resolved for now by resetting the exchange database.

Eh, I don't see this. It is intentionally left at 0 initially, unless get_latest_reserve_in_reference() succeeds. Overall, whenever we update "last_row_off", we also update last_row_off_size. There was one case on shutdown which did not reset last_row_off_size to 0 which I fixed.

I also found and removed a totally bogus GNUNET_break() in cb623d4..61fbc32.

There was clearly something wrong in the old code, maybe you were looking at the wrong "original" version? See this:
https://git.taler.net/exchange.git/tree/src/exchange/taler-exchange-wirewatch.c?id=d126b166241e36a33884bc799190c708226ddb7e

The variable last_row_off_size was never written to in that file. And it's a static global, so it's *always* equal to zero, which certainly is not what you intended!

There was also some additional start_off, which made things more confusing (which AFAIK lead to some bug with the reset mode, I might misremember though).

(the GNUnet break you removed was bogus though!)

Well, I see the issues in the old code, but regardless, the code right now looks fine, so clearly this bug should have been resolved, right?

Yes, it should've been resolved!
