(sorry for the delay...just catching up on e-mail after an outage last week) daedalus has had only 2 core dumps in about 10 days. One was a mmap cleanup issue which Cliff has a promising looking fix for in 2.0.36. The other is a sendfile assert that we've seen intermittently for a long time. Jeff thinks the FreeBSD kernel is giving us a return value of 0 with no bytes sent. I think we might be passing a length or an offset that's too big, perhaps when the site is updated after we stat() the file. I plan to write traps to test both theories. So I don't know of any reason why 2.0.36 won't be stable. Greg
