I have some stock timeout and exception handling code that we can cut and paste in. It adds another 5-10 lines of code, and should make the code robust against what you describe. First order of business would be to get Dan's opinion on the matter, then settle on an API. I can code this up, along with a test harness. -- Michael -- Fedora-buildsys-list mailing list Fedora-buildsys-list@redhat.com https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-buildsys-list
