The warnings as defined in pcm_record.h:
/* pcm (dma) buffer has overflowed */
#define PCMREC_W_PCM_BUFFER_OVF 0x00000001
/* encoder output buffer has overflowed */
#define PCMREC_W_ENC_BUFFER_OVF 0x00000002
As petur said and I second, please test with SVN.
PCM Buffer overflows should be nearly impossible in the newer SVN builds (post reliability fix) if not actually so even if the encoded data can't be written. I've never seen the PCM buffer fuller than 1 second with any codec at any data rate and you've got 11 seconds worth. Encoder not so much if your disk is on the slow side for some reason in which case not much can help.
More info on warnings: If both of these occurred during the same session, you would be looking at Warning: 0x00000003 since the bits OR together as problems occur.
TaperChuck:
No, I always record on a clean drive. Plenty of room on the HD.
One thing I noticed is that my ANSR light was off on my V3 when I got home. It was on when I started recording the night this warning came up. I also had my other pre-amp, a DMIC-20, synced to the V3 via coax cable, and the recorders got off sync somewhere in the last hour of the recording.
So, for testing, I just switched the ANSR off, on the V3, to see if that warning pops up again.
Unfortunately, I don't have much more time to test today.
I'll report back if I can make the warning come up again.

Thank you for the info on what the warning means. I'll have to test the SVN at another time.
petur:
/me gets slightly worried when he also sees http://taperssection.com/index.php/topic,83004.0.html... Probably also using REP though...
TaperChuck:
Well, I tested the the REP yesterday, recording for 8 hours, and no problems. Hopefully it was a fluke...
