I used to see this a lot when running 3.5.x under Linux. I don't think I've had this happen since upgrading to 4.x -- however, I'm running CVS HEAD which is 4.1. Sadly, I never did figure out what was causing this on 3.5.x. I have a feeling under 3.5.x, it was a bug or bad interaction in the nsunix/nsvhr modules that I didn't have time to track down. In 4.x, I know there's an issue with nsd shutdown under Linux where it says it's shutting down, but the comm. driver times out waiting for the threads to die. Could be a bad interaction on Linux between signals and threads. That pid (17098) is a pseudo-process for Linux threads ... perhaps if one of the nsd's threads gets a signal it doesn't have a handler for, exactly what you're seeing could happen. Wonder what your nsd was doing when this happened ... any clues in the server log? -- Dossy -- Dossy Shiobara mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Panoptic Computer Network web: http://www.panoptic.com/ "He realized the fastest way to change is to laugh at your own folly -- then you can let go and quickly move on."
