I haven't had any hangs this time so I thats these 'warnings' are harmless. --=20 Gordon Bergling http://www.0xFCE3.net/ PGP Fingerprint: 7732 9BB1 5013 AE8B E42C 28E0 93B9 D32B C76F 02A0 RIPE-HDL: MDTP-RIPE "There is no place like 127.0.0.0/8" --VS++wcV0S1rZb1Fb Content-Type: application/pgp-signature Content-Disposition: inline -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.2.6 (FreeBSD) iD8DBQFBk4vhk7nTK8dvAqARAsP1AJwNW44lwqHTRAg85FAmV0eOSL3WwACdFxr6 lb8yVhVIdGygUknwWdkIXzc= =P24s -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- --VS++wcV0S1rZb1Fb--
