While testing a new feature in Liber(ator) (in CVS) which acts to insert multiple files serially, I came upon the problem that the latest snapshot of Fred (20020522) would stop responding to FCP messages after the first file was inserted successfully. I know that this most likely is a new problem, for in the past I was able to insert multiple files in parallel (while testing the splitfile insertion feature of the OCaml high level Freenet module, used by Liber(ator)). Note that it DID keep on checkpointing with the datastore after this loss of responsiveness, but this was the only activity that the node did. Note that this node is a transient node and thus does not receive outside requests, so therefore I do not know whether this bug will affect outside.
Another interesting note is that one time shutting down and restarting
the node restored its responsiveness, but another time DIDN'T fully
restore responsiveness; in this case, it would register incoming FCP
connections, but would not act on them in any respect whatsoever.
This is interesting, as it would probably mean that some sort of
damage occurred to the datastore, but that this damage was not
significant enough to trigger an uncaught exception.
