You >must sleep sometime! :-) It may not be difficult, but it will be long - I believe the SuperJANET connection to the USA has been afflicted by gremlins at the USA end, and as a result we are getting an incredibly flaky service here in the UK. The 4/11 snap doesn't seem to have appeared at my "local" mirror yet - the directories are there but they are empty. I'll probably grab it from somewhere else and, like you say, grab some sleep while I wait ;-) >Can you reproduce it? Doubtful. I would need to recreate the exact circumstances prior to the event with great accuracy, which would involve logging onto several varieties of machine and running benchmarks simultaneously, pointing netscape to the page it was at at the time, and inviting the admin chap here again to emit the same bogons while observing. I think it would be easier to do a "make world" ;-) Neil
