In defense of Jaye, let's say he did bring in a spare PC, loaded it up with 2.2.5 and it worked fine in his 'fake' load environment. But, when he moved it into 'real' production use, it started seeing those kinds of problems. Would his problem be taken more seriously then? (He does seem to imply that it's load related, and as we all know it's difficult to simulate real-world load conditions everywhere except the real world.) Nate
