I'm not too sure that it will happen as I think that this is somehow timing related. I suspect that the entry is disappearing too quickly with 1.4 in some cases but is not a problem with 1.2. Perhaps some optimization? I suggest this because on at least rare occasion, 1.4 did run successfully, not because I have any clue what was happening under the covers. The systems involved are VERY different as his is a fast 64-bit SMP while mine is a slow (2 GHz) 32-bit uniprocessor. At least in my case I typically have only the two internal USB connected devices, neither of which have drivers. Not sure what USB devices Andriy might have. I'll let you know the results ASAP, but I in the middle of brining up DNS anycast for my employer and it is eating all of my free cycles until it is on-line tomorrow. -- R.
