This occurs for several reasons: a) A field does not fit withing the current length of a buffer, b) an ACPI table load did not fit into a buffer, c) An attempt to convert a buffer into an integer failed because the buffer was zero sized, d) a SMBus/IPMI/GenericSerialBus write failed because the buffer was too small, e) An index into a buffer was too long and fell outside the buffer.",
