I think 2 separate things were going on. First, the daemon would hang without switching to the alternate threading lib. e.g. if you connect to port 3310 and issue a PING, it would just stall and never return a PONG. The other issue only cropped up a few days ago with certain crafted messages (we are speculating here) causing the daemon to exit on sig 6. >Which version are you currently running? >I had tried the very latest experimental port (as of 2/13) and had >to revert back to a package I had saved from mid 2006. We were using the dev version and prev release version out of the ports and have now switched to .90. The problem of the daemon getting stuck was still there with the default threading lib with .90. Changing to libthr makes it work just fine. ---Mike
