There is some problem with CGOS that I don't understand, which is causing it to drop with what appears to be greater and greater frequency. It first happened a few days ago, then a couple of days later and I am not able to determine the problem.
CGOS does pretty extensive logging and it's written in tcl, which almost always produces informative informational messages when there is some kind of error or exception, but it appears to be getting killed cleanly, with no errors. Also, the screen process it runs under gets killed, which is quite bizarre. screen is a unix thing, a way to keep a session alive even if you lose a connection. Unfortunately, I don't have a lot of time to look into this, so CGOS may be off and on until I determine the problem and solution. I did change the program recently, but I tried running the previous version which was quite robust, and it does the same thing. It really looks like it's not related to any recent changes I have made. My only guess is that some poorly behaved client program is tickling a bug, because there have been no changes that explain this and as I mentioned the previous version also crashes every few minutes. I can also imagine that someone might be experimenting with their own CGOS client - if so please let me know so I can solve this and I will help you. - Don _______________________________________________ computer-go mailing list [email protected] http://www.computer-go.org/mailman/listinfo/computer-go/
