There's really no way to say for sure. Ok. I certainly can't guarantee my code is not somehow causing the problem. > Were there any error messages in the system log from the device > driver? I looked and did not see anything obvious. The file system was not overly full (49MB free, not counting the reserved space for the root user.) I appreciate you looking at the report. If we see it again or manage to find some way to reliably reproduce this on other hardware, I will of course let you know. Thanks, Ben -- Ben Greear Candela Technologies Inc http://www.candelatech.com
