I've been running the first patch for about the last 24 hours and have not seen any assertions yet (although they don't occur that frequently on this server). I'll be adding the second, most recent patch in a bit and rebooting again. Hopefully between the two of them, that will have fixed the problem. -- Mark Nipper e-contacts: 832 Tanglewood Drive nipsy@bitgnome.net Bryan, Texas 77802-4013 http://nipsy.bitgnome.net/ (979)575-3193 AIM/Yahoo: texasnipsy ICQ: 66971617 -----BEGIN GEEK CODE BLOCK----- Version: 3.1 GG/IT d- s++:+ a- C++$ UBL++++$ P--->+++ L+++$ !E--- W++(--) N+ o K++ w(---) O++ M V(--) PS+++(+) PE(--) Y+ PGP t+ 5 X R tv b+++@ DI+(++) D+ G e h r++ y+(**) ------END GEEK CODE BLOCK------ ---begin random quote of the moment--- And if I close my mind in fear, please pry it open. ----end random quote of the moment---- ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by xPML, a groundbreaking scripting language that extends applications into web and mobile media.
