Hi Mike, These are the gdb bt of the core dumps that I got on other servers showing the same behavior. It seems that are all failing at the strcmp. Any ideas what could be causing this?

Possibly just the few lines before the restart. the default config file seems good about logging stuff. Was that sparse stack trace typical or just the first one you had? The only sig that was obvious was strcmp- if it was blowing up there you either had pathological strings or memory corruption or timing issue etc. Not too informative until you at least know if it is a consistent failure point. > > > -- > /kinkie _________________________________________________________________ Windows 7: I wanted simpler, now it's simpler.
