Especially not in the way that you have reproduced the bug. By the way, how many iterations does it usually take to make the server crash with your ViewTest.java? >So I'd really like to know, is there anyone outside who uses FDS in a >sort of mission critical environment?

There are many large, high volume deployments of Netscape DS 6.x, which is the last major release. FDS 7.1 is the same with some new features and bug fixes. We are now seeing customers rolling out deployments of DS 7.0 (released late last year), and we should soon be seeing 7.1 deployments as well. Most of our large enterprise customers require a lot time to roll out deployments of new versions, usually due to their stringent qa/release procedures. >Regarding the bug we filed - is there anything we could do in order to >help fixing that issue? > > How urgent is this? > >Kind Regards, > >Alex > > > -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
