Yes, and it's got me thinking about adding some log timeout warning feature in 1.3 to handle this problem. It's happened before, and it's not just Binc IMAP that stops; all services that log to multilog stop if multilog isn't doing its logging. The lock-up is fine, IMHO, or else log data could be lost. The problem is that the admin doesn't get to know about it. :-) Andy :-) -- Andreas Aardal Hanssen | http://www.andreas.hanssen.name/gpg Author of Binc IMAP | "It is better not to do something http://www.bincimap.org/ | than to do it poorly."
