They're not asking -questions for a fix, they're asking for guidance on how to isolate the root cause of the problem. Quoth the OP: "*what are we missing?*" That is perfectly germane for -questions and only /after/ that question is answered would it be appropriate to use send-pr. Using send-pr to submit a poorly defined problem ("too much load") is not going to result in a project committer magically finding and fixing an unknown OS bug. > Steven H.

That's a reasonable assumption actually. Sorry I don't have any specific suggestions for you except to second the motion that you ignore Ted's assertion that you should give up on -questions. It's entirely possible that there's a tunable knob or app compilation option that will help you out. -- Greg Barniskis, Computer Systems Integrator South Central Library System (SCLS) Library Interchange Network (LINK) , (608) 266-6348
