What version are you using? << Interesting. Over the last couple months I rebuilt the two machines on which I saw this the most, and brought them up to 2.3. It is true that I have not seen this since they were rebuilt. But given how rarely it occurred, that is not unusual. If it is not a problem under 2.3, then so much the better. I will keep an eye on them and see if any 2.3 machines experience this problem.
