Active 4D 3.0
Mac OS 10.2.8
4D Client 6.8.4
4D Server 6.8.4 running on Win2K Server

I've run into an annoying problem on our development web system. 4D Client hangs at startup when trying to start the ITK-based web server. I notice the hang because I display a custom splash screen during startup
plus in viewing the running processes on the server I typically see
1 - ITK Master
1 - ITK Closer
1 - ITK Slave


Occasionally, and after considerable delay, the remaining slaves processes will launch, but the startup stays hung. 4D Client CPU will go > 90% and the only way out is to kill 4D Client via the Process Viewer.

This same code runs fine if run from a Windows client.
Logging in as a different user on the Mac (a special user runs as our web client) gets through startup fine. Problem appears to be associated with ITK or Active4D?


There have been no recent mods to A4D_ITK_Init. All other mods to the structure have been to non-A4D code.

Things I've tried.

* Repeatedly trashed .res and .rex files
* Re-installed 4D Client.
* Put a TRACE into A4D_ITK_Init. The window comes up, but by this time 4D Client is so unresponsive that it is impossible to trace to see what is going on.
* Tried to get into the Runtime Explorer on 4D Client to see what is going on. No luck.
* Repaired Permissions on the Mac.
* Numerous Reboots
* Compacted the structure
* Rebooted the server
* Dropped Indexes
* Checked structure with Tools and Sanitycheck. No notable problems.


I've actually seen this happen before, but it was sporadic and not always reproducible.

Anyone else see this? Any ideas?

Thanks,
