If you can make the problem go away with say a value of 15000000 (ie, 10x what it is now) please do a binary search for the value that just makes it work and send that to us. > - or better - make it configurable via the config file by changing > > #define DELAY_GETREPLY 1500000 > > to > > #if !defined(DELAY_GETREPLY) > #define DELAY_GETREPLY 1500000 > #endif I'd rather not, we want to eliminate config and kernel options like this, not make more of them. -- Rod Grimes rgrimes@gndrsh.aac.dev.com Accurate Automation Company Reliable computers for FreeBSD
