Thanks for the reply Charles. Viele Danke! Anyway, I have concerns which are
aligned with what you
are speaking of. It is a difficult thing to understand as well since I can
make the problem happen at will,
but there is not traceable data on it. Strace won't show me anything. Is
there something else I could do, while
watching my process run away, that could help me diagnose this? Thanks
again.
