Re: reintegration problems

Just over the past 2 weeks I found a bunch of reintegration/repair related
problems. It looks like they have been lurking for about half a year (or
more) and started with a local variable in a loop that obscured an
identically named one at the scope of a function, and a missed pointer
dereference when moving the conflicting CML entries to a special 'local
repair volume'.
[...]
With the existing 6.0.5 code this probably can't be fixed. It does recover
a bit when restarted, but not enough to reliably repair the conflict. If
you would have cared about the local data, a snapshot that contains any
new files should be in /usr/coda/spool/<userid>/<volume>.tar (actually, it
is probably in /var/lib/coda/spool on Debian).
I was hoping to find at least one more (very slow) memory leak in the
servers before making a new release, but if I haven't found that by
wednesday I'll probably start building whatever is currently in CVS as a
new release.
Did this new release in fact happen? I haven't seen any announcements on the
various mailing lists.
