I think that refid field will contain INIT (really the text "INIT" :) )
and the reach, delay, offset and dispersion will contain 0.

The reach field is zero either from the start or it will zero bits in
sequence from all ones (377 - eight connections) to all zeros (0 - no
connection).

It is useless to collect zeros.

Sorry. Do not solve this. It was my mistake. I did too much changes
switching between 3.10.3 and patches.

I would like to switch to master to shut up plugins but I am not brave
enough.
